Shepherds of the Seals 
 Sea Shepherd believes the following about the Canadian seal slaughter:• The slaughter of seals is incredibly cruel (a post mortem survey has shown that 42% of these babies are skinned alive) The Canadian government states that they do not subsidize the "hunt." Our documentation has exposed this lie – time and again, we witnessed the Canadian Coast Guard ships breaking ice and leading sealing ships through the floes to get to the seal nurseries. Also, during bad weather, the Coast Guard were extremely busy rescuing sealers whose ships became locked in the ice. The Canadian government spent hundreds of thousands trying to make sure we did not take any pictures of seals being killed. Their Coast Guard vessel, Amundsen, kept close watch on us – sometimes, dangerously close. Another phase of our seal defense campaign – the Seal of Approval Campaign – is in full swing. The boycott of Canadian seafood is being promoted by Sea Shepherd and many other organizations and has two parts: 1. We are asking individuals around the world to refrain from buying Canadian seafood from restaurants or grocery stores until the slaughter of harp seals is ended. 2. We are recruiting restaurants, hotels, and food distributors to agree to not sell or serve Canadian seafood until the slaughter of harp seals is ended. We need to expose what the Canadian government would like to keep hidden. Sea Shepherd need to once again show the world the horror of the blood-drenched ice floes and the pitiful suffering of the young seal pups as they die. We need to keep the slaughter on the front pages in order to keep it from disappearing out-of-sight and, therefore, out-of-mind.

recientemente he recibido un email informando del nuevo "deporte" canadiense que consite en apalear focas, creo que por lo menos todos deberiamos estar mas concienciados de estas barbaries y los gobiernos deberian tomar parte en el asunto. suerte

Canada's commercial seal "hunt" is the largest mass slaughter of marine mammals in the world. During the previous three years, the government of Canada delivered the death sentence to over one million baby harp seals. Sea Shepherd continues to oppose this annual obscenity called a "hunt." It is not a hunt because the sealers simply walk up to the seals (who have no means of escaping or hiding) and bash the seals on the head or shoot them. Sea Shepherd, known for direct action, has and continues to use other methods to fight to bring the "hunt" to a permanent end. In 2005, Sea Shepherd joined many other organizations in promoting the international boycott of Canadian seafood products as a means to strip the commercial seal "hunt" of all economic value and force it, by financial means, to end. 
The Canadian government states that the seals are killed humanely. Our documentation has proven otherwise.
Please stand with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society on the ice floes off Eastern Canada and hold up the banner for life, for the defenseless baby harp seals and their mothers.
