Dear steven,

This morning, I watched in horror as the silent beauty of the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence was shattered and transformed into a killing field.


Now in its fourth day, Canada’s annual commercial slaughter of baby seals has intensified after this new area was opened to sealers. As you read this, baby seals are being shot and clubbed to death by the thousands. Will you help me save these beautiful creatures?


Already, the melting of ice due to global warming has devastated seal populations. It's estimated that more than a quarter of the seal pups born this year have died. And the survivors are now being targeted in the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet -- a slaughter whose primary purpose is to sell the skins of baby seals to the fur industry.


After my years on the ice with the ProtectSeals team, here’s what I want you to know: The Humane Society of the United States will be here until we stop the seal hunt forever. We must end this carnage now, and we desperately need your financial support to do so. With your help, we will force the Canadian government and fishing industry to stop this cruel slaughter. We will prove that the world is watching and that it will not stand idly by while hundreds of thousands of seals are clubbed or shot and skinned on the ice. Click here to make your donation to save seals today.


In the nine years I have borne witness to this cruel hunt, I can tell you that it has never gotten any easier to watch. But I am strengthened by the knowledge that we will win this fight -- with the help of you and hundreds of thousands of others who are outraged by this atrocity. 


Together, we can stop the seal hunt forever. We must! Please make your contribution today, and join me in making a personal commitment to saving the seals. Your donation today will help us to show the Canadian government and fishing industry that they have no choice but to stop the hunt.


Thank you for all that you do on behalf of animals and for your support during this terrible time on Canada's ice floes.




Sincerely,

P.S. Just five days ago, I visited with seal pups on these very ice floes.  The innocence I saw on their sweet faces makes what I'm seeing today all the more tragic.  Please donate today.

Dear Steven,

The Humane Society of the United States is again on the front lines in Canada, fighting to stop the largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet. Last year, fishermen clubbed and shot more than 350,000 seals in the North Atlantic. Almost all of them were babies, some as young as 12 days old, and reports indicate that some were skinned while alive and conscious.

I ask that you stand with us today and help us stop the seal hunt forever.

<IMG height=76 alt="Step 1:" src="https://img.getactivehub.com/an2/custom_images/humane/seals071_bull1.gif" width=104 align=left border=0>Sign the pledge to boycott Canadian seafood.



Seal hunting is an off-season activity for Canada's east coast commercial fishermen. They earn a small fraction of their incomes from selling seal skins to the fur industry: only a reported $17.5 million (Canadian) annually, compared to the nearly $3 billion taken in by the Canadian fishing industry from seafood exports to the United States. The connection between the commercial fishing industry and the seal hunt in Canada gives consumers all over the world the power to end the vicious slaughter of seals.

This year, we are excited to report that the boycott is working! The Canadian fishing industry has suffered a $350 million (Canadian) decline in the value of snow crab exports to the United States. Help us keep the pressure on Canada's fishing industry by teaming up with the more than 340,000 people who have joined the boycott. Sign the pledge today!

<IMG height=76 alt="Step 2:" src="https://img.getactivehub.com/an2/custom_images/humane/seals071_bull2.gif" width=104 align=left border=0>Pass the pledge to friends.



Canada is sensitive to world opinion, and its fishing industry is vulnerable to the choices of the hundreds of thousands of people who refuse to buy Canadian seafood. Each and every person who signs the pledge will increase the pressure on Canada to end the hunt. Ask your friends and family to sign the pledge.

When the first stage of the hunt unfolds this March in the North Atlantic, The HSUS will once again be there with our cameras to show the world the ugly truth from the ice.

Stay in touch with our campaign to end the seal hunt and find up-to-the-minute news, videos, and actions you can take at www.ProtectSeals.org .

Your involvement is critical to ending the awful abuses of the hunt. Thank you for joining us today in our fight to abolish the brutal seal hunt forever.

Sincerely,
<IMG height=40 alt="" src="https://img.getactivehub.com/an2/custom_images/humane/sig_120x40_no_bkg_wayne.gif" width=120 vspace=4 border=0>

P.S. During the hunt, you can get frequent updates from Rebecca Aldworth, our director of Canadian Wildlife Issues, who will be on the ice to witness and report on the slaughter. Subscribe to Seal Watch.

P.P.S. Want to do more? On April 1, thousands of advocates will gather at ProtectSeals house parties across the United States and Canada to help stop the hunt. Hosting a house party to support the Humane Society Legislative Fund is a unique way to let people know that the seal hunt is still happening and how they can help. Find out how you can host or attend a ProtectSeals house party.
