Every year in Canada, hundreds of thousands of baby harp seals are mercilessly slaughtered for their skins. Your voice is urgently needed to help urge the Canadian government to ban the killing of seals once and for all. More than 1 million baby seals have been killed in the last four years.
The hunt is opposed by the overwhelming majority of people in Canada and around the world.
Canada's annual commercial seal hunt is the largest commercial hunt of marine mammals on the planet. Seals are killed primarily for their fur, which is used to produce fashion garments and other items. There is a small market for seal oil, and seal penises have been sold in Asian markets as an aphrodisiac. There is almost no market for the meat, so seal carcasses are normally left to rot on the ice. Add your name to the petition urging Prime Minister Stephen Harper to end Canada's cruel seal hunt.
