This short piece created by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, makes the point that the Canadian seal hunt quota has increased in a year when the European Union is voting on enacting more stringent bans on the importation of seal products from Canada and the Russian government has banned the hunting of harp seal pups under 1 year of age.
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.
