Blood on the Ice in Ottawa

Also boycott all Canadian seafood Protest outside of red Lobster they buy from us. Ask your grocers if they buy Canadian sea food. tell them you won't shop there if they do. Contact our Dept of Tourism. Go ahead and get Canadians pissed off so they will actually do something to stop this massacre and please don't down play it by calling it a hunt

A favorite sealer argument is that seals eat fish and must be "culled". Less than 3 of a harp seal's diet consists of commercially fished cod and other food fish. Harp seals consume the significant predators of cod including skate and squid. Removing harp seals means an increase in cod predators and that means the fish that the East Coast depended on will never recover. The Canadian government itself clearly states that killing harp seals will not help fish stocks recover and killing seals will in fact impede the recovery of ground fish stocks. It was the corrupt Canadian DFO that exterminated the vast stocks of cod haddock whiting and plaice and their nurseries by 1992 with their factory trawlers and draggers out of sheer greed putting a hundred thousand East Coasters out of work. This is the largest marine mammal hunt in the world with three million seals killed in the past four years all pups between two weeks and three months of age. The slaughter is to provide luxury fur items for fashion markets in Europe and elsewhere. The Canadian government freely admits it is commercial and has nothing to do even with "culling" or fish stocks. The scale of the Canadian seal massacres are now bigger than any time in the last 50 years and ice loss due to global warming is affecting seal nurseries. At least half the nurseries disappeared last year. Even the DFO admits that and it does not have a clue how many are left it admits that there is no way it can get an accurate count and "estimates" between 4.5 and 5+million. Based on outside surveys the real count is close to three million and plummeting. Seals have been threatened once before when Canada went on an orgy of greedy killing and it is happening again. Not to mention the unspeakable acts of cruelty which were documented and filmed and presented to the European commission. Acts such as skinning alive and the taking of whitecoasts are commonplace. There is no excuse for this global crime. The commercial killing of seals must be stopped by worldwide boycotts and bans. And the Vancouver Olympics must be represented to the world and boycotted as an event soaked in blood from a renegade and barbaric nation.

I am from Canada and I do not support the Seal Slaughter. I am also vegan. Canada isn't the problem. The people who do this are the problem and they are in the minority. Try not to sterotype a country so rashly. It is very close minded.

Clubbing a baby Harp Seal is no less gruesome than killing a trout or eating a hamburger at McDonalds so what if someone else killed the cow . Killling an animal for mans pleasure or food is still a crime. Eating vegetables is not enough! The huge commercial farms that grow the vegetables do so on land habitat that was confiscated from the animals. PETA must advocate immediate steps to reduce the world population to somewhere between 30 and 50 million humans.

Wow!! Blood on the ice is such a good idea! Go PETA!!
