Each year, hundreds of thousands of baby harp seals are slaughtered on the ice fields off Canada's east coast for their pelts. Over 95% of the seals killed during this hunt are just days or weeks old.
Last year, Canadian fishermen killed over 70,000 baby harp seals, but this was far less than the government-set quota. Many sealers stayed home, due to depressed prices for seal skins. The drops in prices were a direct result of the fear that the European Union would ban all seal product imports. That fear was realized in 2009.
This is the best news that the seals have had in over 20 years.
Nevertheless, the Canadian government and Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans, led by Gail Shea, are working hard to promote the bloodshed on the ice this year and for years to come. Traveling around the world on Canadian taxpayers' dime, Fisheries Minister Gail Shea and company are trying to drum up interest in seal skins. The killing begins again later this month!! THIS MUST END!!!
