FIRMA LA PETIZIONE PER SALVARE I MAMMIFERI MARINI IN CANADA
Every year off the East Coast of
Canada, hundreds of thousands of harp seals are killed for their fur and omega 3
oils in a mass hunt subsidized by the Canadian government. Between 2003 and
2005, over 900,000 seals were slaughtered, making the "hunt" the
largest slaughter of marine mammals in the world.
Even though the boycott of
Canadian products is building up all over the world, this autumn the Canadian
government will announce the seal quota for the 2006 season. The expected number
is 350,000 seals.
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
has started an international petition that will be sent to the necessary
Canadian ministries and embassies to show the world's opposition to the cruel
slaughter.
The seals do not belong to any
individual or group of individuals. It is time to stop treating them, and other
living things, as commodities.
Help the seals NOW!
What You Can Do:
1) Sign the Petition
Please visit www.seals.gen.tr/index.php and sign the petition today!
2) Continue to Boycott Canadian
Seafood
Expert estimates conclude if U.S.
citizens can effectively achieve just a 25% decline in the wholesale price, it
would amount to $825 million, or 51 times the value of the seal hunt! The
boycott will work!
One of the largest seafood
restaurant chains in the U.S., Red Lobster, is one of the biggest purchasers of
Canadian seafood and has refused to discontinue buying seafood from Canada. For
that reason, Sea Shepherd has called for a nationwide boycott and protest of all
Red Lobster restaurants.
Canadian seafood is sold in
grocery stores and should be clearly labeled as coming from Canada -- but if in
doubt, ask! If ordering seafood at a restaurant or cafeteria be sure to ask
where it is from!
Foods to boycott:
a.. snow crab
b.. scallops
c.. mackerel
d.. turbot
lobster
e.. mussels
f.. herring
g.. sardines
h.. cold-water shrimp
i.. cod
j.. prawns
