Day 134: Save the Seals

For as long as I can remember, seals have been one of my favorite animals! Unfortunately, many seals are killed for their pelts each year. I think seal slaughter is so incredibly awful! Save the Seals is fighting to end seal slaughter! I found this cute shirt on the PETA website. The money from the shirt will be donated to PETA and their fight to end this horrific act.

This excerpt was taken the PETA the website:

The end of Canada's annual baby seal slaughter is near. Over the last few years, all major markets have banned seal-fur imports, including the U.S., the European Union, Mexico, Taiwan, and even Russia, which had been importing 95 percent of Canadian seal pelts. There are no remaining markets for seal fur—the only reason the Canadian government continues to defend this dead industry is because political parties crave Newfoundland's swing seats in Parliament. But as this editorial shows, even local sentiment is turning, and lack of markets has led Canadian officials to seriously examine whether the slaughter should end.

We've reached a tipping point. The time is now to urge Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Keith Ashfield, Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird, and Minister of International Trade Ed Fast to help bring the commercial seal slaughter to an immediate end by supporting a government buyout.

God bless,
