The Canadian government will authorize hundreds of thousands of seals to be killed this year as part of its annual commercial hunt. Ninety-five percent of these pups are between two weeks and three months old. They are shot or clubbed and then skinned for their pelts.

Canadian officials justify the hunt by saying that the seals are responsible for declining fish populations. But the real reason for the fish shortage is poor management and massive overfishing. Seal populations are also falling fast with more than half a million decrease over the last few years.


Help put an end to the seal hunt once and for all by contacting Canada’s Prime Minister today!

Our oceans are in trouble. Industrial fishing vessels take too many fish out of the ocean, and destroy vital habitat in the process. The marine life that remains is polluted with mercury and other dangerous toxins. The good news is, scientists believe it's not too late to reverse the damage. But we must act now.

In just five years, with the help of nearly 300,000 supporters worldwide, we've begun to turn the tide on ocean destruction. Join our community by signing up to receive our free e-newsletter, and we'll keep you informed on opportunities to take action.
