Today, I am extremely disturbed after stumbling on an aerial view of slaughtered baby harp seals.
These 3 week old baby seals are hunted too often for their fur in places such as Canada, Russia and Norway during whelping season in March/ April.
Early this year, the Russian government placed a ban on seal clubbing, while the law has stepped in. We all know things still go on unregulated.
Each seal pelt fetches up to 33 dollars each. (Which really isn't much, and I believe an animal's life is worth so much more.)
Every year, over 300000 seals in Canada alone are clubbed to death in the spring, while the trade of these pelts are banned in US, Belgium and Germany. Our neighbors up east in China, Taiwai, Korea and fashionable Hk have not done so. Neither has the Canadian government place a ban on this inhumane activity.
Please go to the humane society international petition page to sign your pledge in boycotting Canadian seafood and tourism till something is done to protect these baby harp seals.

Thank you.

Sometimes I wished I was wendy in peter pan, or alice in wonderland. I'm a huge burton and depp fan, and I reckon the only anti-aging methodology is to have dreams, gun for them, and believe that disneyland is still the happiest place on earth.
