SEAL BABIES

Baby seals are drowning.
The lack of ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence has led to a mortality rate for seal pups that could exceed 90%. And yet the cruel hunt to kill baby seals continues.
The Canadian government has announced that 270,000 seals can be taken in this year's hunt. Yet according to the government's own scientists, this number is well above the amount of seals needed to maintain a sustainable population.
Your voice is urgently needed to protest this unnecessary and irresponsible hunt. StoptheSealHunt.org is your number one resource to help these baby seals, 98% of which will be between two weeks and three months old when they are cruelly clubbed or shot.
Surveillance flights are reporting that there are virtually no harp seal pups to be found in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Without ice, mothers are forced to give birth to their pups in the water before they can swim.
In light of these tragic ice conditions, the responsible thing for Canada's government to do would have been to call off this year's seal hunt.
Tragically, the Canadian government continues to put politics ahead of science.
Add your voice along with thousands of others from around the globe to create a unique online community that celebrates your participation in putting an end to this cruel hunt.
