Seal Slaughter

"ALL PICTURES AND LINKS ARE SHARED FROM MY EMAIL FROM PETA"

Dear Friends, I hope you are enjoying being a part of PETA's community. I wanted to pass along some resources to help you in your journey toward making a difference for animals and to tell you about our very important campaign to end the Canadian seal slaughter. Canada: The Whole World Is Watching As you may already know, every year, the Canadian government allows sealers to beat and skin hundreds of thousands of seals for products that no one needs. Many of the seals killed are just a few weeks old. They are shot or have their skulls crushed, all for the sake of "fashion." The good news is that there are several things that you can do right now to help end this barbaric slaughter, including the following: ·         Add your name to the petition urging Prime Minister Stephen Harper to end Canada's cruel seal slaughter. E-mail Prime Minister Stephen Harper today to tell the Canadian government to end the cruel seal massacre. ·         Spread the word on social networks. Update your status with a pro-seal message and connect with PETA on Facebook and sites you might already be visiting like, Twitter and MySpace, so that you can get the latest news and spread the word about our fight to end the seal slaughter. ·         Get involved locally. Join PETA's Action Team and get tips on how to help animals in your part of the world. You'll also receive e-mail alerts letting you know when our demonstrations are coming your way. You can join today by filling out the form here. ·         Be a compassionate consumer. By not buying or wearing any fur, you will be sending a powerful message not only to the fur industry but also to designers, retailers, and others who directly profit from the suffering caused by this cruel industry. Pledge to be fur-free today and check out our shopping guide to compassionate clothing. Thank you for your continued support in helping to make a difference for animals. Now that you have these tools right at your finger tips, I hope that you have been inspired to start speaking up for seals today! As always, we are here to support you. Feel free to contact us at any point along the way. Very truly yours, Ingrid E. Newkirk President PETA
