1 Hour can make a big difference

Please make it for 1 hour and spread the word.

Hi

We need your help. On March 15th the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society will take their boats to the gulf of Newfoundland to peacefully try and stop the slaughter of over 1 million baby seals. They’ll meet their death within weeks of being born and will die by being clubbed, shot or a metal hook driven into their sculls. There is huge opposition all over the world and yes there is a very strong campaign going right now that may actually lead to this hunt being stopped once and for all.

On March 15th there will be demonstrations all over the world outside of Canadian Embassy’s and here in Ireland we aim to make our demonstration outside the Irish Canadian Embassy just as big as last year when almost 40 caring turned up to peacefully protest the brutal slaughter of the seals. Please come along to show you’re against animal cruelty and add your voice.

When: Tuesday, March 15th

Where: Canadian Embassy, Corner of St Stephens Green, Overhead Bank of Scotland

Time: 12pm - 2pm (Please attend anytime between these hours)

With a huge professionally printed vinyl banner reading “Canada, Stop Killing Seals” and with a huge picture of a seal being hooked in the head and other professionally printed placards reading “Do Something (With a picture of seals being killed)” “Oh Canada How Could You”.

Please do come along for an hour if you can during your lunch or like many other people who are booking the hour off work. Either way I really do hope you can please come along for the seals that are counting on everyone’s support.

For The Seals, Animal Rights Action Network

Ps, We will also be using this opportunity to speak out against the brutal fur trade and how millions of seals are being brutally slaughtered for their fur.
