Baby+Seal+Slaughter

Canadian government will allow 338,200 seals to be slaughtered in this year's annual war on seals. This is NOT humane.

Since the ’70s animal rights movement, there was a massive worldwide campaign to end Canada’s baby seal slaughter. Publicity forced Canada to ban killing “whitecoat” baby seals in 1987. The slaughter game ended. In 1996 the Canadian government started to forget about the incident and have since then been rebuilding it. It is now the largest marine-mammal slaughter in the world, with up to 330,000 harp seals killed annually.

Baby Seals are legally killed after 12 days. 60 seconds after the seals are clubbed, they are then skinned. media type="custom" key="3549358" width="65" height="70"
