The picture tears my heart out. The poor seal looks like it's saying "Why are you doing this to us?". I hate them for doing this to helpless animals. And all for money. BLOOD MONEY. Already signed the two petitions and just now took action on the second one. I will keep fighting to stop this forever. Noted with sadness and anger. Thanks River.

In the face of further economic boycotts,I wonder at what point Canada's lawmakers will realise that,this continuing barbarity is having a negative effect.In moral terms,seal slaughtering should never have begun in the first place.

I honestly cannot even understand why this continues. There is not a high demand for seal fur! So why are these barbaric hunters going out and murdering hundreds of thousands of baby seals? And you can't even call it a hunt. Hunting involves some sort of effort to even SEE an animal to kill it. These sealers simply jump off the boat and start bashing in the heads of DEFENSELESS animals. The whole thing just pisses me off. And all so that a few wealthy and selfish humans can wear the fur? It is senseless.

They take the same stance as the Japanese (in whaling)...they stated, "don't care if we have to burn the furs"...we will not be governed by the outside world....This actually came from a prominent Parliament member...did a story long time ago on this..........The world will come together and fight this...EU will sanction them...Canada's monies will dwindle...they will be shown compassion proportionate to the compassion they have shown these mammals...and other animals.

THIS NEWS JUST CAME OUT:

Canada rejects Brussels ban on its seal skins

22 hours ago

OTTAWA (AFP) — Canada's prime minister on Thursday warned the European Commission president not to prohibit Canadian seal skins, arguing that public pressure for a ban is based on misinformation from activists.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper told European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, according to a statement, "that it is imperative for European Union member nations to consider their next steps carefully as they discuss any measure that would restrict or exclude the sale of seal products within their borders."

The two leaders met on the sidelines of a G8 summit in Japan.

Harper said Canada's hunt is "humane, sustainable and regulated," and added "public pressure within the European Union to curb the sale of seal products is based on misinformation from anti-sealing organizations and extremist groups."

Each year, anti-sealing activists clash with sealers and Canadian fisheries officials on Canada's Atlantic coast, denouncing the hunt as cruel.

Protestors have called for a complete halt to all trade in seal furs, but World Trade Organization rules would make such a step impossible, a European source said.

The commission is expected to make a decision whether to ban the importation of furs made from the skins of young seals hunted in Canada when it meets on July 23.

It will then look to the EU's 27 member states to approve or vote down the measure.

But Harper warned: "Canada will not stand by and accept measures that fly in the face of accepted international practices for sustainability and trade and undermine trade of seal products harvested in accordance with international standards."

this is just horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE...I'll never understand how a human being can, with their own hands, murder these precious little animals. These people obviously have no heart or soul at all. They must have passed up that particular line. I only hope that they all get what they so rightly deserve when they leave this world.

I am Canadian, and I roar for the end of the seal hunt. The "Powers that Be" say they have the right to "club" "shoot" and in any way possible drag "baby bloody seal pups" on board and skin them. The seals are WILD!!! They are not farmed!! Where do the Sealers see their right. How would they feel if you walked into the Maternity ward and started clubbing their babies. Where is the difference. The ice flows ARE a MATERNITY WARD.

Yes Jenna, We know how the "Elitist" USA Trophy Hunters come hunting, and what happens. The "Guide" takes them to an area where he knows the "trophy animals can be found. Then the rich man shoulders his rifle and kills the BEST of the Species, has his picture taken, and then chops of the head and leaves the corpse for the scavengers.So how can this [MAN???]be considered a hunter??? These are the same creeps who go to USA canned hunt farms,ranches. BLOODTHIRSTY CREEPS.

Canada does get a pass on many things. Oil is being drilled above the Arctic circle in pristine country, BHP is involved in emptying lakes to get at kimberlite deposits with high grade diamonds that are only used for adornment, the seal issue, trophy hunting occurs not only Canada and the US but Mexico. Property I bought back in 1974 is going to be under water in one of the most beautiful areas in BC when they build the Peace River Dam. There is culpability all around, but the seal "hunt" is barbaric on a large scale.
Thanks River for the post, noted and your petition is signed.

That is not the only place oil is being drilled google TARSANDS in ALBERTA no wildlife will go near the project.....the whole Country and World has gone mad on GREED....and the price is taking a heavy toll on animals, plants and humans alike....it is a deplorable despicable lack of human morals and integrity.
AND
In my living in the Rockies it "made my day" when all those vehicles and searches and fines were handed out, I was right there, sick AAA HOLE HUNTERS, those animals were parents to babies as well.
