Save the Seals by Boycotting Some Simple Things
One of the most effective ways to get people to listen is to stop giving them money. Here’s a list of places (taken from www.canadiansealhunt.com) to start.
1. Avoid all Canadian seafood.
This is to apply economic pressure to Canada. Some of the largest consumers of Canadian seafood are Red Lobster, Long John’s Silvers, and Costco. All of these companies should therefore be avoided.
2. Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd society is calling for a boycott of Costco.
Costco sells seal oil capsules. Costco has refused to remove these from their shelves. We fully endorse this decision.
3. Avoid traveling to Newfoundland.
This is to apply economic pressure to this province.
4. Boycott fashion houses that profit from seal pelts.
These are: Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Birger Christensen, New Vogue, and Vogue Furriers.
5. These companies all profit from selling Canadian sea food and should be boycotted:
Acadian, Atlantic Pearl, Bay Shore, Blue Royal, Breakwater, Brunswick, Cape Cod, Canadian Cove, Century Seafoods, Classic (from Beothic), Clearwater, Deep Sea, Doyle, Fisherman’s Finest, Fishery Products International (FPI), Fogo Island, Harbour View, Highliner Foods, Island Pride, Luxury (from Beothic), Northland, Notre Dame Seafoods, Ocean Choice, Ocean Elite, Ocean Leader, Ocean Queen, Ocean Select, Oram’s Choice, Quinland, Quin-Sea, Sea Best (from Beaver Street Co.), Seafreez, Sea Fresh, St. Paul’s, World Catch, and, lastly, Violet brand.
6. Boycott any store that sells herbs that are made from seals.
These products are Terra Nova, Canomega, and Omegavite.

Go for it! I hate mySpace. I have an account there but I’m gonna delete it… just despise the site too much. I’m gonna try and remember to post it on Facebook too but I can’t right now because the site is running really slow.

Great list, Lorie. Of course I’m veggie so I already do most of the things on that list… And there are no Costcos down here… And I’d never buy Prada or Dolce and Gabbana anyway. :P
Crockpot replied
I’m with ya on that, Erin. Mike’s veggie and I’m vegan and leather, etc. isn’t allowed in our house either. The only animals that reside here are alive, happy and healthy! :D

What’s funny is I once told a long-ago boyfriend that only living animals were allowed in my house, and that if he brought meat into my house that he had better not be surprised to find it buried in the backyard. :P

Exactly! Well done. :)
