The International Fund for Animal Welfare's senior researcher Sheryl Fink was on the ice in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence while these photos of sealers working were captured. Her quotes are included in this slide show. For more information please visit http://www.stopthesealhunt.org
IFAW has led the fight to stop the cruel slaughter of seal pups
since the 1960s, resulting in the import ban of newborn whitecoat
seal pelts in 1983. Today, with offices in 16 countries, IFAW is the
world's leading animal welfare
organization, fighting to save seals both on the ice and through vital
scientific and market research.

What stuns me is that there are not hundreds of protestors on the ice. All I see on the videos are a few "witnesses" to this slaughter. I am not trying to be obtuse, but why don't we band together and go bear witness in the hundreds to this horrific killing? Large scale demonstations-or just pay these seal killers off? I know that a lot of Americans would travel if they had some guidance in doing so. This has got to stop!!!
