I received horrible news form the United States Humane Society(if you don’t want to read the whole letter in summary Canadian Sealers pretty much trespassed to a grey seal NURSERY and killed 200 baby seals) :

Dear Angela,Last week, I told you about my trip to Hay Island, where I

watched mother grey seals nurse their babies still covered in

white fur, while older pups slept and played in groups.

I was thrilled to be there -- not to document their deaths, but

to celebrate the fact that the grey seal hunt had not gone on as

planned, because there were no buyers for grey seal skins.

The sealing season had not been officially cancelled, but I was

filled with hope.

I am devastated to have to say that on Monday, sealers butchered

200 of these pups -- just to provide "samples" to a Newfoundland

seal processing company.

To know that 200 of the pups we filmed last week were beaten to

death with wooden bats is too much to bear.

And though the sealers have not returned to Hay Island so far,

in a few weeks, they will go to the ice floes off Canada's east

coast to slaughter hundreds of thousands of harp seals. It is

urgent that you exert economic pressure on the fishing industry

responsible for the hunt by boycotting Canadian seafood and

asking all your friends:

You can also tell your local restaurants and grocery stores to

join the boycott:

The cruelty on the ice must end, and we can end it.

Thank you for all your help,
