Help Stop the Cruel Seal Hunt

This year, the Canadian government has given the go-ahead to hunters to bludgeon to death more than 300,000 baby harp seals—that's more than one-third of all those born. This is one of the biggest seal hunts in the country in decades.

The sealing industry says that it is killing more seals because of an increase in demand for fur-all fur. Anyone who buys a mink or fox fur coat or a jacket trimmed in fur bears responsibility for creating an environment of demand for the furs of these baby seals—who are often skinned while they are still conscious.

The whole world reacts with horror to the image of ice floes bloodied with the carcasses of baby seals whose skins have been ripped from their backs. Seals, foxes, raccoons, wolves, and minks are all wonderful animals who wake up in the morning, ready to enjoy a new day, only to have their lives end in a pool of blood, thanks to the paid promotion of their skins.

If you were to witness the hunt in Newfoundland, you would see firsthand hundreds of thousands of baby seals, too young even to know how to swim away, having their heads bashed in or being shot pointblank. You would witness a scene much like the one reported last year in The Washington Post: "[A] seal appearing to gasp for air, blood running from its nose as it lies on an ice floe. Not far away, a sealer sharpens his knife blade. The seal seems to be thrashing as its fur is sliced from its torso." Or like this one reported in the Christian Science Monitor: "The few terrified survivors, left to crawl through the carnage. The shouted obscenities and threats from the sealers, gunfire cracking ominously in the distance. The pitiful cries of the pups; the repellent thuds of clubs raining down on soft skulls. Sealers' laughter echoing across the ice floes." You may even hear the seal killers "utter a sarcastic 'welcome aboard' as they throw the skins on their 65-foot boat," as The New York Times reported last April. Maybe this year, the images of the ice floes bloodied with carcasses will do the trick to persuade you to give up furs forever.

You can't take back the suffering that went into your coat or the lining of your gloves or the collar on your jacket. But if the images of mother seals watching their babies being killed just a few feet away from them move you to reject the violence—and shame—of fur, you can donate your fur and fur-trimmed coats to PETA for use in our educational campaigns and demonstrations against the bloody fur trade. Please, pledge right now to shun fur once and for all.
