For many years the massacre has remained largely hidden from the world, but the advent of the Internet, especially, brings to retinas this shameful reality every spring. In 2005, for the first time, the various NGOs working to protect these animals have come together, creating an international coalition: The Protect Seals Network, Which is part Altarriba Foundation, which is also the only speaking Castilian

HUNTING A BRUTAL KILLING


Nearly 95% of seals beaten to death over the last five years were less than three months old. At the time of horrific carnage, many of these defenseless babies have not even started to eat solid foods or have taken the first swim in the sea. Literally, they have no escape to the "hunters".

The Videos and photographs (English) reveal an indisputable how hunters dragging on the ice with boat hooks babies alive and conscious, a bullet striking them and leaving them to agonize lying there, even skinned alive.


In the following months, the hunters use the rifle against infants and adults. In 2001, a report by an independent team of veterinarians who had been invited by the IFAW to observe the hunt, he concluded that government regulations so that the killing was "humanitarian" or had been disregarded had been enforced, and that the hunting Canadians breached the basic laws on animal welfare. Veterinarians said that at least 40% of animals had been skinned while still alive and conscious

Now this is an example of political and Government sponsored cruelty on a large scale in a so called "civilised" society! Canada should ashamed of itself for putting up with such a backward government! Please note all my Canadian friends who did not vote for this unmitigated shower. I do not include you in that comment and any that did perhaps you should consider your decision carefully in the light of the continuing animal abuses of this present government when the ballot boxes are next opened up for use!

Usually I want a petition to have an English translation right on it before I sign something in another language (thanks for the English version, Cher), but this time the photo alone was MORE than ENOUGH! Goodness gracious, how revolting and violent and cruel and vicious. Done.

It sickens my heart to see such blatant disregard for laws and public outcries by these heartless murdering humans. All for the greed of money to feel their pockets and the pockets of greedy companies.
You signed this petition on Oct 17 and emailed the following representatives:

Blanche Lincoln , Mark Pryor , Barack Obama and Mike Beebe
