What's Red, White, Naked, and Really Mad at Canada?

These three:

Canada Day

In honor of Canada Day, we threw a little birthday bash at the Canadian Embassy in D.C. to remind the world that hundreds of thousands of baby seals have their skulls bashed in each year during Canada's annual seal slaughter.

Just because this year's seal hunt is over, it doesn't mean that we should let the Canadian government off the ~~hakapik~~ hook! Keep up the pressure all year round by staying active online.

Pam I think and hope that we all know that only some canadians support the hunt, and I'm very tired of herring about how the polar bears need help, they do of course but that seems to be the only thing many people care about, how about we just try to rid the world of animal cruelty one step at a time. Polar bears are endangered as you said, so they are at least more protected than the seals. Finally the kill quota accounts for about 2/3 of all of the seals killed, the rest are unreported, we don't know wether they are old or young, healthy or sick, or mothers. The seal hunt is a horrible crime and needs to be stopped!

You do realize that A They no longer hunt baby seals that hunt was banned in 1987 B it's not entirely commercial but also a traditional hunt for sustenance C the manufacturing and transportation of those horrible polyester wigs those waifs sported probably contributed to more environmental damage than what a hunter could do.

It doesn't matter if clubbing seals is in Canada or anywhere else the point is to stop animal cruelty and get along.

How can anyone torture baby sealsor any animal? If people were more like animals this would be a much better place to live. Animals are loving innocent creatures of God they do whatever they can to survivepeople do everything they can to destroy.

Caren what have you done to stop the American politician named Sarah Palin who fully supports hunting and killing endangered species? Seals are not endangered the polar bears your Sarah Palin wants to hunt are. Who is more barbaric? Us for telling our politicians to stop or you for letting yours express a desire eradicate an entire species? You deal with your politicians and we Canadians will deal with ours.

Also....sending big props to the EU who have come under fire from the Inuit community in Canada on their ban on seal products way to stand your ground!

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
