• HSUS Update on Seal Hunt
  by Crockpot

  Over the past few weeks, th…

  Over the past few weeks, the world has watched in horror as Canadian sealers brandished clubs and rifles, brutally slaughtering thousands of defenseless pups, most only a few weeks old. As you read this today, the commercial seal hunt has moved farther north where the killings will resume – with sealers allowed to kill 275,000 seals this year. Because of your support, we have achieved many landmark victories in our campaign to save the seals – and our efforts are reaching a critical mass. This year, it is clear that the end of the seal slaughter is finally in sight. How far we’ve come – and the progress we’re making / Here’s the most exciting piece of news: the European Environment Commissioner has announced a plan to ban the trade in all seal products originating from inhumane hunts. This builds upon the historic declaration by the European parliament in 2006. If an EU-wide ban is enacted, the fashion houses serving the main markets for seal skins today – China and Russia – would be forced to stop, and millions of baby seals would be saved from cruel slaughter. In the meantime, many nations have either banned seal product trade or announced their intentions to do so. They include: Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Croatia, Austria, Slovenia, Panama, Mexico, and the United States. Just the potential for an EU ban on seal products has saved thousands of seals already. Prices paid for seal skins this year have declined so much that most sealers have chosen to stay home. / Together, we’re making progress to protect these wonderful animals and end the cruel Canadian seal hunt. / Photo: The HSUS To tell the EU that you strongly support a total ban on trade in seal products, please sign our petition here. And we have more good news. The HSUS-led boycott of Canadian seafood in the U.S. has attracted more than 618,000 individuals, 3,500 restaurants, and major grocery chains such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. With more than 80% of Newfoundland’s fishing revenue coming from shellfish and less than 3% from the seal hunt, we have tremendous leverage as consumers to end this hunt! Fishermen are fast realizing they stand to lose more from killing seals than they will ever hope to gain.
