SLAUGHTER CONTINUES -- NO REPLY FROM PRIME MINISTER HARPER OR PREMIER
WILLIAMS ON THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF CANADA’S $10,000 DONATION TO END SEAL
HUNT
BUY BACK LICENCES TO END SEAL HUNT – THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF CANADA STARTS OFF FUND WITH $ 10,000 DONATION
On the ice in the midst of a seal nursery where they
were born, pups will be killed in sight of their mothers; adults will
also be shot, stabbed and clubbed. When protests against the seal began
thirty years ago, tens of thousands of seals were being killed, and
today hundreds of thousands of seals are being killed. We need new
solutions to bring an end to the largest tax payer funded slaughter of
marine mammals on the planet. Find out what The Humane Society of
Canada is doing to stop this, and how you can help. Because when it
comes to fighting cruelty, we don’t give up. Ever.

Offering no proof that they actually even enforce the
law, government politicians and the sealing industry claim that no
whitecoat harp seal pups are killed any longer. The term "whitecoat"
refers to the stage of development of a pup, and means the pup is 14 to
21 days of age (shown above on the left). Instead, sealers simply wait
less than a day until the seal’s fur begins to moult (shown above on
the right) before they club, stab or shoot the seal pup.
