The largest commercial slaughter of marine mammals on the planet will
begin
in days. By the end of this year's hunt, more than 300,000 seals will
have
been brutally killed - many of them babies as young as 12 days old.
Some of
them will have been skinned while still conscious and able to feel
pain. The
Humane Society of the United States will be on the front lines in
Canada,
fighting to halt this atrocity. Please stand with us today and stop the
seal
hunt forever.

Step 1 <http://www.hsus3.org/protectseals>
<http://www.hsus3.org/protectseals> Sign the pledge to boycott Canadian
seafood. Click here.
Seal hunting is an off-season activity conducted by fishers from
Canada's
East Coast. They earn, on average, a small fraction of their incomes
from
seal hunting - the rest from commercial fisheries. Canada earns $3
billion
annually from seafood exports to the United States. The connection
between
the commercial fishing industry and the seal hunt in Canada gives
consumers
all over the world the power to end this brutal slaughter. We'll
deliver
your pledge to Canada's government so the politicians will know you've
joined our international Protect Seals team and are committed to ending
the
seal hunt once and for all.

Canada is sensitive to world opinion. Hundreds of thousands of people
protesting and, in particular, refusing to buy Canadian seafood will
make a
difference. Taking the pledge is simple and effective.

The first stage of the barbaric hunt, set to start in late March, will
unfold very quickly - and we'll be there to cover it. A spotter plane
will
help us pinpoint the slaughter locations, and helicopters will take our
teams out onto the ice so they can record the ugly truth about what
happens
away from public view.

You can stay in touch with our biggest animal protection campaign of
the
year at <http://www.hsus3.org/protectseals> www.ProtectSeals.org.
There
you'll find up-to-the-minute news, videos, and actions every day during
the
hunt.

I know that it's painful to think about this awful abuse, but your
involvement and action are critical to ending it. Thank you for joining
us
today in our fight to abolish the brutal seal hunt forever.

Sincerely,

P.S. Get frequent updates from Rebecca Aldworth, our Director of
Canadian
Wildlife Issues, who will be on the ice throughout the hunt to witness
and
report. <http://hsus.ga4.org/ct/spzO5XE1Xzq1/> Click here.
