WHY SHOULD I CARE? Every spring, it’s the same old thing. Red blood – white ice. Politicians and protesters. Celebrities and seals. That’s right, we’re talking about Canada’s commercial seal hunt. Usually you flip the channel, change the station or put down the paper. Sure, the images are bloody and disturbing, but it happens somewhere else – and besides – this has nothing to do with you, right?

Wrong.

Canada’s commercial seal hunt is about you! It’s about your country. It’s about your money. It’s about Canadians speaking out against an inhumane and unnecessary industry. And it’s about time our politicians paid attention.

It’s about Waste The waste of your tax dollars. Year after year, YOUR hard-earned money is spent to provide support for the sealing industry. Spent on Canadian Coast Guard ice-breakers to lead sealers to the vulnerable pups. Squandered on 4-star European trips for government officials who try to find markets for seal products. This is your money. Shouldn’t you have a say in how it’s spent?

It’s about conservation Climate change is destroying the harp seals’ breeding habitat, causing many newborn pups to die. Despite this, the federal government continues to allow the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of young seal pups each year.

YOUR MONEY = YOUR SAY Year after year, YOUR tax dollars are spent to support the failing sealing industry.

It’s about cruelty

Countless seal pups suffer unnecessarily so their skins can be turned into luxury products.

It’s NOT about fish stocks

Seals are a convenient scapegoat for the demise of the fishing industry. Overfishing caused the collapse of the cod fishery. Killing seals isn’t going to help fish stocks recover.

It’s NOT about traditional hunting Unlike Inuit or aboriginal subsistence hunts, where most of the animal is used, Canada’s commercial seal hunt is a hunt for fur, with most of the meat and blubber wasted. Canada’s commercial seal hunt is cruel, unnecessary, and wasteful. It also brings in very little money to those who participate in it. Instead of propping up a dying industry, shouldn’t Canada be investing in sustainable employment alternatives to sealing?
