Helmets for Harp Seals is an organization dedicated to outfitting all of Canada's harp seal population with proper protective head gear. This demonstration shows how proper cranial protection can protect a seal from the impact of a seal hunter's club.

Id only baby harpies could evolve to shoot poison death rays at the killers - it certainly would be more of a fair hunt! All animals for that matter.

I totally agree with Roseann. But one thing the video failed to demonstrate is HOW CBS Lovers are supposed to get the protective helmets ON the baby seals??

Thnx Mirror, noted!

Here I've just foundthis on their website:

How you can help


Start a chapter: If you live in an arctic region and have some extra helmets, you can start your own Helmets for Harp Seals chapter and start putting helmets on seals.
Spread the word: Because this solution is so new, there are many people who have not heard about our organization, so send this link to all your friends and some of your nicer enemies.
Buy a T-Shirt: You can make your own custom H4HS Tee using the Seal Helmet Generator. You’ll look cool and you’ll help raise awareness for H4HS, plus all proceeds go towards protecting the seals.
Post Web Banner: You can also use the Seal Helmet Generator to make a custom banner for your website, facebook or myspace. That way you can help save the seals and show all your friends what a good person you are.

It is too bad that there is not some signal (noise) that would send those babies into the water and away from their brutal killers. STOP THIS HUNT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
