About Me

This year, the Canadian government has condemned 325,000 precious little creatures to brutal deaths for fur and profit. As you read this, thousands of baby seals are being clubbed to death on Canada's east coast. Right now, they're bleeding to death; wounded and drowning because of greed and vanity.
Most people aren't aware that the commercial seal hunt is still going on. It was banned in 1984, and started up again in 1995. I believe with all my heart that it's wrong to brutalize living, breathing creatures, stealing their coats and leaving their bodies to rot on the ice. So, until this hunt is outlawed, one of my main missions in life is to raise awareness and help do what's right.
The "sealers" say that anti-hunt activists are misinformed; that only adult seals are killed and that we should go back to "munching granola". That's mature of them, but I've done my research. I've looked at this issue from both sides, and it's a fact that seal pups between 12 days and 4 months old comprise 95% of seals murdered for the only thing they have...their beautiful coats.
In the end though, it doesn't matter if they're babies or adults. The hunt is cruel and unnecessary, and completely driven by vanity, and a few who earn less than 5% of their annual wage from it. If the the meat and by-products were actually used, if the hunt were carried out more humanely, this would be a different discussion.
Thanks for checking out my profile! Please help me get the word out, add me to your "friends". If you'd really like to help, add me to your "Top 8", my profile pic will contain an anti-seal hunt message everyday until the hunt ends for good!

Costco is weak!

As I had suspected, Costco has backpedelled on its decision to stop selling seal oil capsules. First it was a "business decision" and now sales will continue. Costco announced today to the Canadian me...

Confiscated seal hunt footage...

This footage was confiscated by the Canadian Government. Could it be because their "humane" hunt isn't quite as humane as they'd like the public to believe? Note the asshole stomping the head of...

No kudos for Costco!

Unfortunately, I've learned that Costco isn't as upstanding as I'd have liked to believe. They've announced that their pulling of seal oil capsules had no political motivations and was a busines...

Seal thoughts for the moment...

If anyone savagely beat a dog or a cat with a baseball bat and left it bleeding to death and conscious, the perpetrator would face appropriate animal cruelty charges. So why, does the Canadian governm...
