For those of you who do not know, the Annual Canadian Seal Hunt will begin very soon - this month, as a matter of fact. Canadian fisherman go out every year at this time to hunt massive amounts of seals. The seals, mostly seal pups, are hunted down and massacred. It is so very senseless, heartless, cruel, inhumane, and absolutely horrific. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is working hard to get the Canadian Government to stop this hunt. In hopes of making that happen, the most powerful move we can make here in the U.S. is to boycott Canadian seafood products. To find out details on the hunt - the history, the hows, the whys, and what the HSUS is doing about it, click here. (By the way, the story is very sad, but it shows nothing graphic.) I know it is easy to turn your head, and just tell yourself that it is too sad to watch. But it is absolutely necessary for EVERYONE to be aware. I encourage everyone to educate themselves about this hunt, talk to others about it, follow the HSUS's progress in their fight, and finally, support the HSUS. I know money is tight and times just might be tough, but everyone can spare a buck or two, if not more. To help the HSUS in their fight, click here. If none of the set amounts fit your budget, that is what the "Other" option is for (anything you can spare). Every little bit helps.
