I am completely against the seal hunt, but I don't know about the statement: "Helpless baby seals are beaten to death while their mothers scream in anguish."
I've personally watched a lot of the footage of sealing shot by humane groups and I've never seen that. I could definetly be wrong about that, but also I think you should be careful about providing fodder for pro-sealing lobbies who accuse anti-hunt activists of using proproganda and false information. I mean, make sure all of your claims are substantiated. My 2 cents

We just had our protest in Vancouver today.

fantastic, i hope it works. this shocking act has always made me feel extremely sad and helpless in doing anything for the baby seals. i am keeping my fingers crossed very tightly.

i Think there is no need too beat and batter these helpless animals for any reason regardless of what of produces! why dont these Bastards just beat themselves up with baseball bats!

Maybe the sealers boats will get crushed in ice like they did last year...

This is one Canadian that is sick and tired of seeing those barbaric thugs bashing seals to death year after year. People are so misinformed about what has caused the downfall of the fishing industry in Canada. Seals are the scapegoat. Man has overfished the sea with factory trawlers. Seals have been consuming the same amount of fish for thousands of years. They didn't all of a sudden consume all the fish, that's a stupid arguement. Sealers should join the 21st Century and get an education as well as a non-violent job.

I am 7yrs old and animals are my life, my aunt showed me what PETA was and what it stood for and it is heart wrenching. I know I am really young but I read up on animals I study them and I hope some day in the near future I have the opportunity to help make a change.

i have just watched the video of the seals being killed. i think that is morally wrong to kill them like that. why do we go out there and protect them little seals, the Canadians are having the olympics in 2010. SHAME ON YOU CANADIANS.

The news media has virtually ignored the savage seal hunt. They don't care because they're part of the corporate elite along with the meat, poultry, fishing and hunting industries.

I am against this seal slaughter and it makes me cry when I see any animal killed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that seals will not be slaughtered anymore.

Posted by: Alicia Hille | March 28, 2009 05:13 PM

OMG!!! i can not believe this i didn't even know this was even going on, we have to stop this. Its terrible!!!!! :(

Posted by: Danielle | March 28, 2009 07:40 PM

A Tragic tragedy. They have no voices to protest this genocide themselves!!!!!

Posted by: joe Britz | March 28, 2009 08:32 PM

Please stop killing, please stop buying things to fuel this killing, please have some humanity

It's shocking to hear that this barbaric practice is still happening. I cannot understand how anyone could do such a horrible act toward another living, feeling creature. And we're the most evolved of the "food chain." Thank you PETA for keeping us informed and active.

Posted by: Lori Fenton | March 29, 2009 04:43 PM

what an amazing statement! thanks to the animal rights protesters. this is one cause that i feel strongly about contributing too, the baby seals, it is close to my heart. i cannot believe that they still allow this brutal slaughter to continue. it was against the law there for so long ans then they began to allow this again. everyone has the right to put their 2 cents in..but if you want to make a statement, do all you can and contribute to help to stop this inhumane act. they are so young beautiful animals, what is sad is that the seals are losing their babies on their own due to global warming. i hope that they stop this practice soon!!

I just don't understand why people could hurt those animals . Don't they have a heart ? When i see videos of the seals , I just want to kill those people who are hurting them. I think it's our good right to make the seal hunt end .

Posted by: Diiana | March 30, 2009 09:16 AM

Thank you PETA for being involved in a movement towards ending this cruel and inhumane practice that Canada is doing. Shame on them for allowing this to STILL happen after all these years. It's time this stops, once and for all. I hope they get it that the rest of the world is watching them and will start banning everything from seafood to any exports they have.

that is great help those animals they deserve great people like u my heart is broken when i see this.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ANYONE COULD POSSIBLY CLUB BABY SEALS TO DEATH!! I mean, they're little itty bitty babies! If someone just came along and clubbed a human baby to death, people would want them to recieve capital punishment! But when it happens to a baby seal, too people just look away and don't care! We need to spread the passion! Those baby seals can't fight for themselves, so it's our duty to fight for them. The best way to do this is to SPREAD THE WORD!!!

Posted by: Leah | March 30, 2009 04:49 PM

Every anti-seal hunt protest,e-mail,letter-writing campaign,seafood boycott will bring the hunt to an end.
Just keep at it,this will come to an end

Posted by: cindy | March 30, 2009 07:06 PM

Thank the Lord! Something needs to be done about this senseless act of violence. I am praying this works out, and the slaughter stops.

Posted by: Amy L. | March 31, 2009 10:38 AM

As a Canadian who is very politically active, I can tell you that ending the seal hunt will be a major battle. Politicians here have dug their heals so far into the ground on this that it is discouraging. Major economic and trade initiatives against the Canadian gov, such as the potential EU ban is just a start. This battle is already 20-30 years old....

Posted by: TonyT | March 31, 2009 01:06 PM

I scream stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can;t take the cruelty. These people should die worse than they put on the seals. I cry and pray every night for these little ones. please help and protect them. I will give all i can, we must save them from evil and horrible deaths. my heart and soul go to the ice with you.

Posted by: Marla Di Benedetto | April 10, 2009 04:37 PM

First off, I am a Canadian who opposes the seal slaughter. For those who are saying shame on you Canadians, the correct phrase should be shame on you, Stephen Harper. The majority of Canadians oppose the seal slaughter and want it to end. To all Canadians, please sign every petition you can find. These animals are counting on you.

Posted by: pam | April 17, 2009 04:36 PM

So very cruel and sad. The slaughters & clubbers that inflict pain and suffering on helpless animals will answer to a higher power.

Posted by: Robin Jones | May 7, 2009 02:53 PM

Good work PETA !

I am not sure of why some of you shame Canadians, most of them are against the hunht
