Save Our Seals!
One of the many of the horrendous acts still allowed by the Canadian Federal Government is the slaughtering of several hundred thousand seals a year- most of whom do not get to live until adulthood. Instead, they will be clubbed to death or shot, skinned or bled until they die a painful and brutal death which will result in an overwhelming 2\% increase in Canadas annual fisheries. The seals are targeted on account of their predatory nature that threatens cod populations in the waters of Atlantic Canada. Such a flimsy and weak excuse does not fool the Canadian public, many of whom are readily against this unspeakable act of violence that occurs because ultimately, we allow it to.

Please join me as a Canadian and an animal rights activist, regardless of your location. This petition is meant to be a collective voice for those who dont wish to endure any more bloodshed being disguised as population control! Our harp seal numbers are dwindling, with nearly 1 million being hunted every 3 hunting seasons, showing us a steady declination of population. We must be heard! After a selected period of time, your support will be sent to the appropriate government officials in control of this senseless slaughter, and will include (and not be limited to) our Prime Minister, The Honourable Paul Martin, The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, as well as the Canadian Sealers Association.
I will not stand by and watch our government turn away from the cruelty that is being administered to these defenceless creatures, nor will I stand silent amidst their cry for help. Please help support the petition Save Our Seals and together we can put a stop to an unnecessary hunt that is already threatening to endanger thousands upon thousands of marine animals each year.
This petition is run by Ashley Yvonne (as of June 2005) and can be contacted through email at the bottom of the page. Thank you.

- This is a very personal battle for me. As someone who is trying to not remain ignorant of what's going on in my country, I find it very hard to cope with the facts that I am forced to uncover to make this petition. These seals should not have to suffer because of an unnecessary, barbaric act that should have been dismissed decades ago! Only with public support, will the Canadian government realize how destructive their uninformed decisions are...

- The cod excuse is a fallacy. Seals are being hunted for their skin. This is unacceptable in any a civilized country.

- The seal-hunt is clearly cruel and ineffective. Call it off at once. Hunting ought to be practised responsibly and humanely.

- This is a pointless and useless act of barbarism; it doesn't belong in a civilized society and only serves to taint our image.

- It's absolutely atrocious that people consider it less than a crime to kill these animals. Save them now!

- This is inhuman. To end the lives of thousands of innocent animals over a measly two percent? Unforgivable.

- Signed. Not because the hunt is wrong, not because it involves wicked man killing little baby seals to make furs which can now be produced synthetically, but because of how the hunt is done and because of how little is, in fact, exploited afterwards. There is nothing wrong about hunting: it is a part of our biological purpose and in the end a biological necessity, but there are several unethical not to say wrong and wicked ways to go about doing it. Let us instead make a petition petitioning the hunters and the protesters to take courses from the Inuits.

- Noble causes deserve support, wheter it is for saving Seals, reducing the petrol consumption in the industrialized countries, or helping the old lady cross the street. Enough said!

- I hope that the Canadian Government can stop cruelty to animals now, Seal hunting being one of the more barbaric and sickening, Why not be remembered for doing a wonderful thing in stopping it NOW and not as a government that allowed it to continue! Shame on those who do not act on this!
