This Sunday, March 15, is International Day of Action Against the Seal Slaughter. Why it's not on all the calendars between Purim and St. Patrick's Day, we'll never know, but, hey, we're doing our part to get the word out.
OK, so this event is big—international, even, as the name suggests. Animal protection groups of all sizes from all around the world have lots of things planned for Sunday. But you don't need nonprofit status to get in on the action. In fact, all you need is your own dang self—or just a group of your like-minded BFFs. Here are some entirely do-able ways to become an action hero for seals:
- You've probably already followed through on our action alert, but if not, this would be the time for it, don't 'cha think?
- If you're a Facebook fanatic, you can post our action alert to your page or sign our petition—and get your friends to sign it too.
- Think of someplace where lots of people will be on Sunday and set up a table there with information about the seal slaughter.
- Pick out a busy street corner or sidewalk—in front of a fur store, say—and hand out our attention-getting "Blood on the Ice" leaflets.
- Share our YouTube video with everyone you know.
- If you don't have time, but you do have money, donate some to us and support our work for seals and all animals.
- If you really want to get the message out loud and clear, host your very own demo against the seal slaughter! Don't worry, we've got your back! Click here to order a poster for your event and click here to order a seal mask. Take photos at your demo and e-mail them to our activist liaisons at ATeam@peta.org. We've got a guide that might help, too; you can check that out here.
And that's just for starters. For more ways to be an action hero for animals all year 'round, click the "Get Active" link at the top of this page and check out our Guide to Becoming an Activist—that is, if you're ready to become a superhero!

I'm no hero but I'm a Creationist who is convinced that God will send animal abusers to the road to perdition. We MUST respect God's creation.

I will be participating in the Canadian seal slaughter protest day on Sunday and have received your flyers and posters. I really think this is a truly important message on which many people need to be informed.

I was looking for protests outside the Canadian embassy in Australia (or high commission rather) but I couldn't find anything. However, just about every Australian I talk to and many others detest this slaughter, and one can only hope that Mac Harb's efforts will pay off.

Please stop the torture and slaughter of these helpless animals. We don't deserve to wear their skin on our backs for fashion. Faux fur is just as good and doesn't cause such suffering.

This has been going on for so long. And I think that part of the problem is that the protests always start when the slaughter is about to begin, so by that time the clubbers are already set in place for the new round of killings. I would think that the campaigns obviously need to star a good 2 months prior so it would give more chance for people to send letters to the pertinent people, and make protests,etc. and get more momentun going.
