Help Stop the Canadian Seal Hunt!

Each year, the ice floes off the coast of Canada turn blood red when the baby harp seals are beaten and skinned for their fur during the nation's cruel annual seal hunt. If you witnessed the hunt firsthand, you would see baby seals—too young even to know how to swim away—having their heads bashed in. Since you probably won’t ever witness the hunt for yourself, however, we hope that the following video will show you just how horrific this yearly hunt truly is.

Warning: This video is extremely graphic.

The Canadian seal hunt is one of the true injustices of our age. Hundreds of thousands of baby seals are beaten to death year after year, just to satisfy the vanity of a few ignorant people who don't realize that it's the 21st century and we don't need to wear the skins of dead animals to stay warm.

Please sign this petition and join the millions of people around the world who are calling on the Canadian government to put a permanent end to this cruel tradition. Forward the petition to everyone you know and ask them to join you in signing.
