We’ll be here until the seal hunt is stopped — with your help.
Dear carmen,
Just before dawn this morning, the annual hunt for baby seals began in Canada. Over the next few weeks, 275,000 harp seals will be brutally clubbed or shot for their fur. Many people believe that Canada ended this hunt in the 1980s, but it’s still happening — right now. That’s why the sealers don’t want us here with our cameras rolling. For four years, Humane Society International’s ProtectSeals team has stood its ground as Canada’s extraordinary harp seal nurseries are transformed each spring into bloody killing fields. The sealers have rammed our cars, smashed our boats, and brandished the very same clubs that they use to kill baby seals — all in a vain attempt to intimidate us. Then yesterday, Canada’s government took an unprecedented step: It refused to issue hunt observation permits to our team — and to journalists — in time for us to document the slaughter this morning. This means that sealers, if they have reached the seals by now, are killing baby seals without witnesses. Which is exactly what they want. Watch our video to see what we’re up against. It’s hard to watch (and you can skip it if you prefer). But it shows why we’ll remain here, steadfast, until Canada ends this barbaric hunt for good. Exposing the hunt is the surest way I know to stop it forever. Your support is essential. We are closer than ever to putting a permanent end to this atrocity. Markets for seal products are closing — in recent years, ten countries have either ended their trade in seal products or announced their intentions to do so. The European Union is considering a ban. Prices paid to Canadian seal hunters for seal skins are falling. And more than 3,500 businesses and half a million people have pledged to avoid Canadian seafood for as long as the commercial seal hunt continues, providing a strong economic incentive for the Canadian government to stop it.
As another year’s slaughter begins, watch our video now — and then please make a donation to sustain our team on the ice and end this hunt once and for all. The sealers don’t want us here, but with your support, we’ll continue the fight until the cruel hunt ends.

| Dear carmen,
You can help animals around the world who are cruelly mistreated by the leather industry by making a special gift to PETA. We have video footage documenting horrible conditions for cows, pigs, goats, and sheep—and even dogs and cats—in the leather industry. Animals are condemned to deplorable living conditions, deprived of food and water, transported in small cages, and crammed onto trucks. At slaughterhouses, they watch as other animals are skinned—often while still alive—and await the same gruesome fate.
PETA’s investigators have seen cows have their throats cut with blunt instruments and be painfully castrated, dehorned, and branded—all without painkillers of any kind. At the end of their miserable lives, these gentle animals are hung upside-down, bled to death, skinned, and dismembered—for example, their hooves are cut off—often while they are still conscious. But you can take important steps today to reduce this suffering. To start with, please pledge never to buy or wear any more leather products. Believe me, there are great alternatives available. And if you’re as serious as I am about stopping the abuses inflicted by the leather industry, please make an online donation to PETA, the one animal rights organization whose influence extends across borders. PETA is now leading a worldwide campaign to stop animal abuse in the leather industry. But we need your help. We’re taking on industry leaders in the United States and overseas, serving as the only advocate for these abused animals. If we are to win significant relief for animals—and we’ve won countless battles against the factory-farming and fur industries already-we need you by our side. Please give as generously as you possibly can to PETA today. Your tax-deductible donation is a ray of hope for animals everywhere who are suffering so that people can wear their skins. Kind regards, P.S. The leather industry is abusing cows, pigs, sheep, and other wonderful animals and even skinning them alive. But PETA members have saved animals from cruelty before, and with your kind support today, we can do it again. Thank you. |
