Please protest the cruel Canada seal hunt.
The following was taken from an animal rights group list.

We've sparked a global outcry, now let's keep the pressure building!

Last week, IFAW brought journalists to Canada to
witness the cruelty of the harp seal hunt. What they
saw was heartbreaking: Newborn seals skinned or
bled alive... clubbed to death... or shot and left
wounded to die under the ice.

Within days, images of the carnage were on the front
page of "The New York Times" and newspapers
worldwide -- spurring a global outcry, and magnifying
your voice, and the voices of others who led the way
by signing the Care2 petition to save the seals.

Now we urgently need your help to capitalize on the
incredible momentum that is building against the hunt.
Please send a letter to Canada's Prime Minister urging
immediate action. http://www.care2.com/go/z/13402

IFAW was the only animal protection organization on the
ice this year -- as we have been for well over a decade.
If we didn't arrange these journalist trips, the world would
be completely unaware of this brutal slaughter.

The spring hunt continues unmercifully this week, and
Canadian politicians are stunned by the international
storm of protest.

That's why now, more than ever, we need a flood of
email protests to help drive home our point. This hunt is
cruel... and the world won't stand for it.

Let's join together to strike a decisive blow against cruelty
NOW... while the global outrage against the hunt is high.
Please send your message to Canada's Prime Minister:

Please tell your friends about our campaign... and if you can,
contribute online to help us continue the fight.
To contribute, go to: http://www.care2.com/go/z/13406

For the seal pups,

Fred O'Regan
President and CEO
International Fund for Animal Welfare

P.S. Remember... politicians will only act if they see
worldwide demand for change. It only takes a moment
to send a message. Go to: http://www.care2.com/go/z/13402

And if you can, please consider supporting IFAW's
campaign to protect these defenseless seal
pups: http://www.care2.com/go/z/13406
