Stop the murder of 330,000 harp seals

330, 000 are going to be killed in Canada for their fur. 50, 000 signatures are needed to stop this. I know that that is a large number, but I think India forums can help get the message out there.

The Canadian government permitted the slaughter of more than 330,000 harp seals last year; it will happen again if we don't stop it. During the hunt, baby seals are shot or repeatedly clubbed. An estimated 42 percent of the animals are skinned alive. Hunters toss dead and dying seals into heaps and leave their carcasses to rot on the ice floes because there is no market for seal meat. During last year's hunt, almost all the seals killed were 3 months old or younger. Many had not yet learned how to swim or eaten their first solid meals. Baby seals are helpless and have no way to escape from the sealers' clubs.

These seals are being hunted for their fur for fashion, not survival, nor need. SAVE THE SEALS !

you may not think so, but it actually is, veterinarians agree that when these seals are killed, it is not done so in a humane way, and nevertheless.. as for being a livelihood... what are native americans going to do with 330,000 carcasses, they cannot do much.. as dead organisms rot.. and theres not even that many native americans left.. I also live in Canada.. and i think this is digusting.. and i beg to differ about it not being as painful and brutal as it seems.. If someone pulled my skin off, im pretty sure it would hurt
