[Fibrofriends/Fibroquest] Stop Canada's Cruel Seal Hunt

[Margot Koenig]

Dear Friend,(please don't ignore this email,it only takes a
couple of minutes to make a difference)

The 2006 Canadian seal hunt left at least 354,
344 seals dead -almost all of them were babies as young as 12
days.

Stand with me today to stop the seal hunt forever by joining the
Canadian seafood boycott.

Seal hunting is an off-season activity for Canada's east coast
commercial fishermen. They earn a small fraction of their
incomes from selling seal skins to the fur industry: only a
reported $17.5 million (Canadian) annually, compared to the
nearly $3 billion taken in by the Canadian fishing industry from
seafood exports to the United States. The connection between the
commercial fishing industry and the seal hunt gives consumers
all over the world the power to end the cruel slaughter of
seals.

The Canadian fishing industry has suffered a $350 million
(Canadian) decline in the value of snow crab exports to the
United States.

Once you've signed the pledge, you'll be able to identify
Canadian seafood by using HSUS's downloadable pocket guide. You
can also find out which restaurants and other businesses have
also signed the pledge--and which ones to contact to ask them to
sign on.

Thanks for joining me in ending this cruel hunt.
