Write to local and national papers |
| So far, this fairly new commercial
seal hunt has occurred without much public notice or outcry
because it's been kept very low-key by government and seal
killers. Let's change this. Write letters to your local
newspapers as well as national papers, bringing this to
the attention of their readers. |
Talk to people about this issue whenever
possible. Educate others. Urge them to take action. If you'd
like to volunteer in the effort to end this, please send
us an email. |
| We'll be updating this site shortly
with other ways in which you can help to end the killing of
grey seals. Please keep checking back. |
