Dear friends

I would be really grateful if you would look at this petition and sign it if you agree with what it asks. If you could also forward it to anyone you think may be sympathetic to the cause, that would be brilliant. To those who have signed already, my heartfelt thanks. Your friend, Eleanor.

Just a quick note......(one of several today -- sorry folks) to make a suggestion or two for the benefit of the Canadian Seafood boycott to end the massacre of baby seals...

I would like to suggest that we keep the number of New Seal forums and Seal petitions down to a minimum.
There are some very good groups out there who have huge campaigns going on and very good petitions which need eveyone's help. If there are too many forums and too many petitions, it gets confusing.

What I mean is... Let's say the ProtectSeals.org's petition is looking for signatures (which it is) and it is gaining momentum when suddenly out of the blue pop up more and more seal petitions. So, some people sign one and some sign another but not both. People may fail to sign the protectseals.org petition because they have already signed one and thought that was the one.

That petition is put out by the Humane Society of the United States and we know for a fact that the petition we signed will be delivered to it's intended target in government, whereas, someone who just rolled in off the internet highway (sort of speak) may not end up doing that. ..may let the petition slide or may in fact be a mole hired by the Canadian government to gather signatures that will never be delivered. Catch my drift?

About adding new Seal forums........ I just want to say that in my forum "International Wildlife Rescue", I had a really strong Seal campaign going on, and then my very good buddy and fellow activist Cindy Minde became so overhwelmed by the Seals that she wanted to do more to help (as if she wasn't doing enough already to help) suggested it might be a good idea to open a special forum for just seals..which I thought was an excellent idea...and I'm glad she did do that.

But, we learned soon afterwards that to do so in mid-campaign when folks were looking for info on one forum and not finding it there anymore but maybe accidentally found it (or not) in the rescue forum.....led to confusion, where some topics were not seen by a lot of people, cuz they were running back and forth from one forum to another.

We found ourselves going back and forth between forums and having to double post topics to be sure everyone saw them.

I think we do have to try and protect the membership of the existing Seal forum "It's Our World Too".....and the only way I can see that is by encouraging everyone to stick to that one and not wander off and start new seal forums. Just my thoughts. As always you have to decide for you! It was on my mind!!

Anyway..I'm rambling...afterall it is Sunday..and noone's listening anyway..lol!
