We are at a critical juncture in the campaign now. Thanks to the thousands of business and hundreds of thousands of individuals who are participating in the ProtectSeals boycott of Canadian seafood, more and more of Canada's sealers have indicated that they are attracted to the idea of selling their sealing licenses back to the Government of Canada and bringing the hunt to an end.
We really need the public's help now more than ever to let their grocery stores and restaurants know they WILL NOT purchase Canadian seafood until this atrocity ends so anything you can do to put this on your website and let people know about this critical issue we would greatly appreciate.
The 2010 commercial seal slaughter is slowly winding down. Spring is marching on and, with the warming temperatures, the harp seal nursery is literally melting away. The sealers have killed almost all of the pups in the areas we observed. What remains are shrinking ice pans covered in crimson blood.
In the coming weeks, the harp seals who have survived the commercial seal hunt and the record-low ice cover this year begin their slow migration back to Greenland. The ProtectSeals team is leaving too, for we have gathered more than enough evidence to help shut down this slaughter for good. Our work to save the seals from the 2011 seal hunt begins here.
We are in a race against time. Just eleven months from now, next year's seal pups will face another brutal slaughter—unless we stop it first.
