"Most people would agree that there is something terribly wrong with shooting and smashing in the skulls of baby seals, yet despite international outrage, the Canadian government allows sealers to beat and skin hundreds of thousands of these gentle creatures every year." -PETA (Canada's Shame.com)
Hello Devorah,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Elisa and I am an employee of the Government of Canada working on the seal file. I just wanted to clarify that the seals harvested in Canada are self-reliant, independant animals. In fact, the harvesting of young seal pups such as the whitecoat shown on the picture above has been illegal in Canada since 1987. For more information on the harvesting restrictions, see http://bit.ly/9adodk
