Thank you! To everyone that signed my petition and took the time to look at this issue, taking positive action, putting an end to this hunt.
PLEASE TAKE ACTION! SENATOR MAC HARB HAS ISSUED A BILL TO END THIS HUNT. WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! -- I am asking for your support for this bill. Let SENATOR MAC HARB know your thoughts at: harbsealbill@sen.parl.gc.ca. He introduced legislation in the Senate to amend The Fisheries Act, effectively ending the commercial seal hunt while respecting treaty obligations and protecting the rights of Canada%u2019s aboriginal people.
Canada%u2019s commercial seal hunt is a dying industry based primarily on demand for fur for luxury items. But markets for seal fur are disappearing and sealers%u2019 earnings have plummeted. Canadian tax payer dollars are supporting the commercial seal hunt.
