End the Seal Trade!

Almost all of my blog is about my daughter. But this post is about the cruel Canadian seal trade. This year sealers are going to be allowed to kill 275,00 seals. That's more than 1/4 million. They are babies, born with a beautiful snow white and soft fur coat that will become spotted as adults. For over a century sealers have made big money by selling the white fur coats of the seal babies. Anyone with any caring for stopping cruelty and suffereing would be sickened by the hunt. Baby seals are clubbed to death, many skinned alive, so their coats can be taken. Often their mothers are also killed as they get in the sealers way, trying to protect their babies. And as us moms know, we would do anything to protect our babies. I know I would. I have complete empathy for these innocent and defenseless beings.

Please go to: humanesociety.org/protectseals by clicking on the picture of the baby seal below to sign a petition urging European countries to ban seal products. With no one to sell the furs to, the sealers will stop their hunt as it will no longer provide any financial gain. And more innocent babies will be able to grow up. Thank you in advance for caring!
