Let it (the seals) be




Sir Paul McCartney and Heather have joined BB and me in the fight to end the cruel seal hunt.
During the last three years alone, the Canadian government has allowed nearly 1 million seals to be slaughtered. Fully 97 percent of them were less than 3 months of age, and the majority was less than 1 month old. A 2001 independent veterinarian report concluded that close to half of the seals examined were likely still conscious when skinned, causing "considerable and unacceptable suffering."
