MESSAGE I RECEIVED FROM IFAW - 2003/10/27 15:28
It really is worth reading, nothing new, but this subject should be highlighted.
CANADA is *Supposed* to be a civilized country -but is it?
Dear Ray,
As I write this, thousands of baby harp seals are being slaughtered on the ice fields off Canada's east coast.
IFAW needs your support to stop the killing:

This annual Canadian seal hunt is happening right now, with the dawn of spring and newborn seal pups taking their first breath. In fact, over 95% of the seals killed during this hunt are just days or weeks old. If you were to witness this personally, your heart would break.
Help now! Donate here: http://www.care2.com/go/z/12397
Hundreds of acts of animal abuse and violations of
Canada's criminal code have been documented by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) during this hunt: baby seals impaled on hooks ... seals skinned alive or wounded and left to die under the ice.
And now these seals need your help more than ever before.

Last year, the Fisheries minister announced he would allow
975,000 seals to be killed over the next three years. The
Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), however, spends only 1.5% of their patrol hours monitoring sealers to prevent criminal acts and kill limit violations during this hunt.
Your support helps put IFAW seal rescue teams on the ice to expose this outrage.
Without the presence of these teams, most of these abuses and crimes would go undocumented. IFAW led the campaign to "Save the Seals" in the 1970's. Now we need your help to stop this latest attack on defenseless seal pups.
There's still time to act before this year's hunting season is over -- please contribute whatever you can to help stop this savage attack. http://www.care2.com/go/z/12397
For the seal pups,
Fred O'Regan
President and CEO
International Fund for Animal Welfare
PS. Your help is needed today, please consider supporting
IFAW's campaign to protect these defenseless seal pups:

Please forward this message to friends and family and urge them to help now! Every minute ... every effort... every donation counts!
