This is from the Canadian Fisheries website -
http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/seal-phoque...gest2003_e.htm
"The harvest of harp seals at the whitecoat stage and hooded seals at the blueback stage is prohibited.
Persons may not hunt adult seals in breeding or whelping patches.
Land-based sealers and sealers using vessels less than 65’ in length will do the hunting, although vessels
beyond that length may be considered for use to collect, transport and prepare hunted seals from small vessels and as safe havens for sealers in bad weather.
DFO enforces regulatory requirements for the firearms, ammunition, clubs and hakapiks used in sealing to ensure the right tools are used properly for the quick and humane dispatch of animals."
Seems to me that seals are being slaughtered at the white-coat stage and 'quick & humane' dispatch of animals is not being adhered to. This cull remains a disgrace!

The RSPCA is mounting a campaign against this, particularly the skinning whilst still alive!!

If you have appreciation of animals how about filling in a couple of fields online. Will take you one minute and a few keystrokes. You don't even have to give your address.
