We are targeting the Prime Minister of Canada, the Liberal leader, the Governor General of Canada, the Canadian Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, and the Premier of Newfoundland today with an email-bombing campaign. We hope to have 3000 emails sent! PETA and IFAW are on the road, running across Canada behind the Olympic torch. We need to support them in their efforts. Please cut and paste what you see written below, sign it if you agree, and send it to:

Subject: The Canadian Harp Seals
Honourable Prime Minister and members of Parliament:
I have recently viewed, via the internet, the attached video of the growing relationship between Canada and China as relates to the fur trade. It's unconscionable of Canada to consider allowing cat and dog fur into the country in order to continue the Newfoundland seal slaughter, which has been condemned by the rest of the world for decades.
I sympathise with the majority of Canadians who have opposed the slaughter for decades, and who have seen their tax dollars wasted to subsidize it. I am asking you at this time to consider the requests of the international community to put an end to the seal hunt for good. It's the job of any Government to listen to the will of the people. But clearly this is not the case within Canada. I thought Canada was a democratic nation? Please stop this seal hunt immediately before the image of your country is damaged permanently!
The website we will promote if this slaughter is not stopped immediately:

Honourable Prime Minister and members of Parliament:
I have recently viewed the attached videos and publications that were just released via the internet. It's hard to believe that Canada, a one-time leader in the world could let these crimes against animals occur. This is nothing short of ecological terrorism! I never thought I would say this, but I am ashamed to be Canadian. These are not the actions of my country, these are the actions of a very small province (Newfoundland) that has brought nothing to us but shame! This hunt only continues to exist because it is propped up by a range of government subsidies and taxpayers money. It appears that the government is doing it for no other reason than to protect what is a dying if not dead industry, and “spite.” How dare the EU tell you how to run our country – right? The fact remains though, we, the majority of Canadians, agree with the EU! You all are behaving like children…serving seal at government functions, please, you are embarrassing us all.
The seal hunt cost Canadian tax payers nearly ten million dollars to carry out in 2009, yet netted less than one million dollars. It put an average of five hundred dollars into a sealers pocket for one weeks work. Is this good business sense? Is this good moral or ethical sense? Smear a country’s image for five hundred dollars?
The vast majority of Canadians and caring people worldwide have been calling for an end to this hunt since the 1960’s. We are well aware that ninety seven percent of sealing licences are issued to Newfoundland. How long does Canada have to wear this black eye for Newfoundland? We are fed up with this province and we want this issue put to rest once and for all, or we will lobby for separation against this province to make the seal hunt end on our own terms. Please don’t make the critical mistake most governments make, that of not listening to the will of the people. You are hired by us as electoral representatives of our country, and you are not listening to us. Just as we hired you, we can fire you - this IS still a democratic country.
We understand that Canadian Senator Mac Harb has brought a bill before the house which was ignored. This is NOT acceptable! He is speaking on behalf of all Canadian people. He is speaking on behalf of me! I WANT my voice heard once and for all within Canadian parliament regarding this issue.
Please use your unique position as representatives of Canadian’s and as citizens of the world to be our voice in Parliament and fight for an end to this cruel slaughter. We, the people of Canada, will accept nothing less than an end to this barbaric treatment of our animals!
