Saving the seals from suffering a horrific death! The Canadian seafood industry and government is allowing the brutal killing of seals (baby seals)in order to increase sales of baby seal pelts all over Europe, basically, to profit for themselves (they give numerous excuses). We need to stand-up against these ruthless and greedy individuals and save these kind, intelligent, marine mammals. Knowing about this issue and trying to forget it because it is so sad and disgusting, DOES NOTHING! WE MUST COME TOGETHER AND TAKE ACTION!!!DO not abandon these animals and allow this twisted form of "hunting" to take place any longer.

ARE SEALS FISH?
Although they are intelligent complex mammals, the DFO calls them fish.
Although the exact amount of Cod that harp seals eat is a debatable issue, what is agreed by all credible scientists and biologists involved: the seals didn't cause the fishery collapse and the seals aren't going to keep it from coming back. Cod is only a small percentage of the harp seals' diet, yet they also consume predators of cod and are part of a complex food web.
Even though the DFO's own scientists concluded in 1994 that "the collapse of northern cod can be attributed solely to overexploitation," it wasn't until about 2005, that the DFO began to admit that the seals did not cause the collapse of the cod fishery...but the damage is done and, sadly, most sealers still believe this propaganda!
Credible biologists know that healthy fisheries need healthy seal populations to prosper. Credible biologists know that healthy fisheries need healthy seal populations to prosper.
Marine Ecosystem Basics: (Excerpt from "Seal Wars" by Paul Watson)
And to make the matter even more tragic and pathetic, the government propaganda machine even now continues to dupe the stubborn and ignorant sealing population (much the same way the rich sealing families did to the uneducated poor "working sealers" for so many years) into believing that sealing is the only way they can earn a living for their families.
Although the majority of Canadians oppose the seal hunt, and there have been numerous viable alternatives to the seal "harvest" offered in the past 20 years, (like ecotourism and the bedding industry utilizing seal hairs obtained by brushing molting seals as a form of high quality "down"), the sealers have rejected these offers and the DFO isn't interested...
... but such is Canadian fisheries politics...
And there is another modern day reason for sealing: The seal penis bone. The seal penis bone was for several years more valuable than the price of a first grade pelt. Asian businesses eagerly sought out the seal penis bones as aphrodiasics for a booming quack industry commonly utilizing rare or endangered animal parts (proven by countless scientific studies to be ineffective.) These black market businesses contracted with shady Canadian fisheries businesses skilled in trafficking these animal parts- while the government vehemently denied it even occurred. Since "erectile dysfunction" drugs came to market, the market for seal penis bones has declined dramatically.
In addition to these reasons for the seal hunt, one must consider the issues of bloodlust and 'pride' or stubbornness in maintaining this tradition. Even in 2008, when sealers were lucky to break even, a few thousand went out to the ice to kill seals. Time after time, sealers are quoted as saying that they kill the seals because it's their tradition and that nobody has the right to tell them to stop. Some have been quoted as saying that they enjoy sealing.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who can help us save these beautiful creatures.
