Last year's hunt
left more than 200,000 seals dead - clubbed, shot and skinned in the largest
commercial hunt of marine mammals in the world. Many were babies as
young as 12 days old. This year, Canada's government is allowing 280,000 of
these beautiful creatures to be slaughtered!
Let the European Parliament know you support a total ban on seal product
trade >>
But there is new hope
for the seals. The European Commission put forward a proposal to ban the
import and trade in seal products in the European Union - a move many
believe is a historic step towards ending cruel commercial seal
slaughters around the world.
However, the
Commission has included a problematic loophole in the proposal that would
allow countries that meet certain inadequate standards of slaughter to
continue trading seal products in the EU! Such an exemption would allow
countries to improve their regulations on paper while the cruelty continues
in the field unchecked.
Sign the petition letter >>
The good news is that
there is still time to act. The proposal is now before the European
Parliament, where this loophole can be removed. European citizens and
their parliamentarians want a strong law - one that stops all trade in
products derived from commercial seal slaughters, which are inherently
inhumane.
Please show your support for an unconditional prohibition on seal product
trade >>
Thank you for taking
action today.
