size=2 face=ArialCare 2 newsletter size=2 face=Arial size=2 face=ArialIn less than 2 days, the largest slaughter of marine mammals is set to begin on the ice off Canada's East Coast. BRBRB face=Arial size=2Over 300,000 seals, mostly babies, will be bludgeoned or shot to death for their fur. BRA href="javascriptl('http:go.care2.comeJc3jUlaA6');" face=Arial size=2Take action.ABRBRB size=2 face=ArialBBut the income generated by the commercial seal hunt doesn't go as far as the Canadian government would like you to think;B it accounts for less than one percent of Newfoundland's GDP - an average of only $1,000 per sealer. BRBRB face=Arial size=2What's worse, the seals are slaughtered in the most inhumane fashion during the hunt - routinely clubbed or shot and left to suffer on the ice, then dragged over the side of boats with sharpened metal hooks. Some are even skinned alive. BRA href="javascriptl('http:go.care2.comeJc3jUlaA6');" face=Arial size=2Say no!ABRBRB face=Arial size=2When Danny Williams, Premier of Laador and Newfoundland, was given the chance to tell the truth about the hunt during a recent episode of "Larry King Live" on CNN, Bhe chose instead to lay false claims about the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and their do***entation of the hunt's cruelty.BBRBRClaiming to speak on behalf of Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Williams said: "IFAW representatives, veterinarians and other experts have said the seal hunt is humane."BRBRBThe truth? There isn't a single reputable "expert" or "veterinary group" that has observed the seal hunt and called it humane. BIn fact, IFAW experts concluded the slaughter to be inherently cruel and horrific. BRBA href="javascriptl('http:go.care2.comeJc3jUlaA6');" face=Arial size=2Take action now.ABRBRB face=Arial size=2Doesn't the public at least deserve to know the facts about how baby seals are being killed?BRBRBA href="javascriptl('http:go.care2.comeJc3jUlaA6');" face=Arial size=2Join IFAW and activists from around the world A face=Arial size=2in urging Canada's Prime Minister to tell the truth about what's really happening on the ice.
