My friend Ericka Ceballos of CATCA kindly forwarded me the following link of a blog written by an Anti-Sealing Coalition activist who has witnessed the commercial Seal 'Hunt' firsthand. Here it is, wrenchingly disturbing info and all...

(Oh, i just wish this bloody 'Seal Hunt' would STOP!!) It's animal abuse at its most extreme, + a governmental cover-up that BARS anyone from witnessing, photographing or otherwise observing this disgraceful slaughter (two were prosecuted + sentenced for WITNESSING the seal hunt - i'll find the lnks)... it's a heinous misuse of public funds, used to subsidize an 'industry' that has achieved a Europe-wide ban on its trade - but also, is being used to APPEALING this ban, to the tune of $10 million public funds, by DFO Minister Gail Shea. She violates her duty as a public servant - along with her constitutional duty to wildlife stewardship, which does NOT include mass killings thereof!) - and her lies, posturing and outright propaganda in support of the Seal Hunt are SERIOUS BREACHES of OFFICE - if not crimes against diversity...
This isn't a worthy OR sustainable Canadian "tradition", as Shea claims: it's a shameful legacy of lies, murder, pain, and violence against our country's native wildlife species - WHOSE HABITATS WE ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT...
FIGURE IT OUT, CANADA: VOTE AGAINST THE SEAL HUNT! The Green Party is the only Canadian political party that officially opposes this Seal 'Hunt' sickness, if you can believe it.
YES, that means CONS, LIBERALS + NDP's perpetuate + support corruption, mixhandling taxpayers' money and unsustainable activities/businesses... So you may want to reconsider a party which has the integrity to reject old 'status quo' warhorses for a positive new direction. Check them out:: www.greenparty.ca
I hope all my friends will be attending the Motorcade to Save Seals this Saturday, March 26th. (More info on that to come)

....DOES THIS LOOK RIGHT TO YOU?
COME ON, CANADA - VOTE TO STOP THE SEAL HUNT!
