It has been the PPP's experience upon meeting Canadians that they love to brag how nice they are. I am sure there are many nice Canadians but don't let them fool you! Not all Canadians are so nice and warm hearted (believe me and my mommy as we have met some not so nice Canadians).
When you look out over the miraculous baby seal nursery on the ice floes of Eastern Canada, it's hard to believe that 275,000 harp seal pups may be killed there in a matter of days. You can't imagine the horror until you witness it firsthand.
It may come as a shock that Canada's cruel commercial seal hunt still happens every year at this time -- so many people I've talked to think that the hunt ended years ago.
That's what the Canadian fishing industry wants you to believe, and we won't let it get away with it. You can save millions of baby seals' lives and help end the hunt once and for all -- sign the pledge to boycott Canadian seafood.
Why boycott Canadian seafood? A small group of fishermen in Eastern Canada kill seal pups for their fur during the off-season and sell the pelts -- mostly to European markets -- for a tiny fraction of their income.
The fishing industry won't stop the killing just because it's the humane thing to do, so give it a choice: End the slaughter, or go under.
Our goal is to have one million individuals participating in the boycott -- there are already more than 630,000 people who have pledged to forgo Canadian seafood, and if everyone who sees this post tells 5 friends, we'll meet our goal overnight and send the fishing industry a message it can't ignore.
Next month, the European Union will consider banning its trade in seal products, shutting the doors on one of the largest markets for seal fur.
Lawmakers are responding. We just need you and everyone who reads this post to take this simple pledge on behalf of seals. Let's seal the deal to end the hunt -- take a moment to sign your name, and then tell your friends and family about the plight of baby seals.

Two things will end the slaughter: Shutting down markets for seal fur and hitting the Canadian seafood industry where it hurts most, the bottom line. We're closer than ever to reaching these goals, and your commitment to ending the hunt will make victory possible at last.
Thank you in advance for being part of this massive grassroots mobilization to save seals. Chow for now!
