Speak out for seals
|
On the opening day of the Gulf seal hunt, IFAW monitors bore witness to the astounding cruelty of baby seals being shot in loose ice. One sealing vessel followed by an IFAW team searched out small pans of ice for seal pups, firing at seals on slushy, moving ice.
Seals were seen in agony after being shot at and injured, but not instantly killed. One seal was hauled alive onto the deck of the boat with a steel hook before finally being beaten to death.
Tell the world in your own words why such cruelty to animals is wrong!
The lack of ice in the Southern Gulf this year led to a mortality rate for baby seals estimated at more than 90%, yet sealers continued to wipe out the last remaining survivors. Despite the tragedy of global warming to seal breeding habitat, the Canadian government gave sealers permission to kill 270,000 seals.
