My heart is heavy as I watch the footage from Canada's seal hunt.
Already, I have seen violations of the regulations the sealers are
supposed to follow. Every time I see a sealer run out to a baby seal who
cannot escape, and bash in their innocent little face, my heart breaks.
If the European Union would implement a ban on seal products from
Canada, this could stop. Please help us to stop this atrocity and save
the lives of thousands of baby seals every year.
The United States has banned seal products since the 1970s; I implore
the European Union to do the same.
Very best regards,

I'm a canadian, ashamed that the canadian government is again
allowing the slaughter of innocent seals.
One way to stop this is to cut the demand. Please refuse to import
seal products from Canada. There's no need for it.

I am writing to encourage you to implement a ban on the importation
of all Canadian seal products. I, as a Canadian, am ashamed of the
annual barbaric seal hunt that takes place each spring on the East Coast
of Canada. It is an absolute atrocity that such a massacre as this still
takes place in 2008. I respect that opponents of the hunt concentrate on
the fact that it's unsustainable, but I can't wait for the day when we
can make the argument that men should not be standing over baby seals
and bashing their heads into a bloody mess with wooden sticks that have
metal spikes attached. And for what? Nothing we can't live without. It's
absolutely disgusting and it's time Canadians and the rest of the world
wake up to the fact that just because we can beat up on other species,
doesn't mean we should. I urge you to do your part to stop this ongoing
tragedy by banning all Canadian seal products to your country.
Thank you for your consideration.

From Carmen Gentry:
Thanks, Anthony! I just wrote to everybody! The list you provided and
the whole European Union!
I CANNOT imagine what excuse the EU could possible have if they
decide not to impose a ban! That will be the day I give up on
people...and dedicate myself exclusively to the animals!
We'll keep going... Take care! Carmen
