During this time, year by year in North American country, thousands of seals are slaughtered and killed with permission from the Canadian government. They are hit in the head with hooks and poles, or are shot in the brain area to avoid damaging their fur, which is highly prized by European and Asian fashion. Because deaths are not always instantaneous, the vast majority of seals are skinning still alive, while others fled bleeding, crawling on the ice badly wounded, deep into the Arctic Ocean, where they die after a few hours.
Each year, activists put pressure on the sealers and the fishing industry that supports the yearly massacre. Join or organize a protest or other event to spread the word in 2010, and help put an end to this atrocity forever.
