WHAT YOU CAN DO
WRITE TO POLITICIANS
Send a letter, email or fax to your local politician and the Canadian government to demand an end to this atrocious slaughter of seals. It is important that you keep writing often to remind those in a position to stop the Canadian seal hunt that they must do the right thing and put an end to the slaughter of harp, hooded and grey seals.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has the power to stop the hunt.

Gail Shea, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, is responsible for setting seal quotas and prosecuting violations of the Marine Mammal Regulations.

Send copies of all correspondence to your local Member of Parliament. To find the contact information of your senators and Members of Parliament please visit the Parliament of Canada Directory or use their searchable database.

Please visit our Resources section for some samples of letters. Feel free to borrow.

WRITE TO COMPANIES THAT SELL FUR PRODUCTS

Send a letter, email or fax to companies that sell products made from the fur and skin of seals slaughtered on the East coast of Canada. These companies are participating in the annual hunt by giving the Canadian government and sealers the economic incentive they need to continue their barbaric practice. Send a letter to these companies and politely request that they make their fashion more compassionate by ending the use of seal fur. Due to the Marime Mammal Protection Act, the use of seal fur and skin is banned in the United States, however, these companies can sell seal products in the European and International Markets (Note: the sale of whitecoat pelts is still banned in Europe).

Keep an eye out for sales of seal-related products. If you find any sales of seal oil capsules or seal fur and/or leather, please let us know.
