STOP CANADA'S CRUEL SEAL HUNT:
http://www.hsus.org/protect_seals.html
I'll never forget the first time I saw the shocking images:
conscious seal pups being clubbed over the head and dragged
across the ice ... with some baby seals even skinned alive. I
vowed right then to do everything I could to help stop this
senseless cruelty.
One important way that you can help is by signing the pledge to
boycott Canadian seafood until the seal hunt is stopped. Click

Why boycott Canadian seafood? Seal hunting is an off-season
activity for Canada's commercial fishermen, who earn a small
fraction of their incomes from killing baby seals for their fur.
That's why a financial blow to the commercial fishing industry's
seafood exports is key to bringing about an end to this vicious
slaughter.
After you've signed, please take my Pledge Challenge and ask all
of your friends and family to sign, too.
After what I have witnessed these past several days, there's
nothing I wouldn't do to help prevent these defenseless baby
seals from being brutally slaughtered for their fur -- most of
which is exported to Europe. You see, I've just returned from
the ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, where I joined my
friends at The Humane Society of the United States in viewing an
extraordinary sight -- the birth of thousands of harp seal pups
across a pristine and peaceful winter landscape. It's so painful
to think that in only a few weeks' time, this beautiful seal
nursery will be transformed into a scene of bloody carnage.

Please take a moment to sign the pledge to boycott Canadian
seafood and help end this hunt forever. Your involvement during
these next few weeks is critical -- because our campaign is starting
to achieve real results. Since the ProtectSeals boycott began, the
value of Canadian snow crab exports to the United States has
plummeted $465 million (in Canadian dollars). Help us keep the
pressure on Canada's fishing industry by joining more than
545,000 people who have already signed the pledge! It only takes
a few minutes to speak up for baby seals.
If we all act now, this may be the last commercial seal hunt any
of us ever has to witness. http://www.hsus.org/protect_seals.html
Sincerely,
Nigel Barker
