Amidst worldwide protest and controversy, Canada’s shameful annual massacre of 300,000 baby harp seals began today. Mass killings are underway in the Saint Lawrence Gulf and will soon expand to Newfoundland. Canada’s seal hunt (if you can call bludgeoning defenseless baby animals to death “hunting”) is the largest massacre of marine mammals in the world, and has sparked outrage and a pending ban on imports of all seal products in the Europe Union. Last week, Russia announced it was banning its annual baby seal hunt– one tenth of the size of Canada’s– as inhumane and cruel.  Want to take action for the seals? Start here.
