Help End the Cruel Harp Seal Hunt E petition

http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/seal_hunt07?rk=A1%5fWTaS1Ofi8E

The petition:

I, the undersigned, hereby request that the Canadian government end the cruel seal hunt -the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet. Sealers bludgeon the seals with clubs, drag conscious seals across the ice floes with boat hooks, and toss dead and dying animals into heaps, leaving their carcasses to rot because there is no market for their meat. Please stop the cruel slaughter of baby seals and put a permanent end to this blight on Canada's international reputation.


Help End the Cruel Harp Seal Hunt

The whole world reacted with horror to 2006's images of ice floes bloodied with the carcasses of hundreds of thousands of baby seals whose skins have been ripped from their backs. Unless caring individuals speak out and demand the seal hunt's end, that gruesome scene will be repeated again later this month.

The Canadian government has given the go-ahead for hunters to bludgeon to death 335,000 baby harp seals this year. To stop this atrocity, we must generate an international outcry against the Canadian government for sanctioning it.

We need to collect 50,000 signatures on PETA's international petition to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper before the hunt begins. It's time for Canada to erase this stain on its reputation and call off the slaughter immediately.
