What YOU can do

Links to use to protest the seal slaughter

An American friend just sent me this email she received from a woman named Jane who works to save animals from suffering. These are some links you can use to help add your voice in protest against the seal slaughter off eastern Canada. As with any tragedy, you may think that the little you can do will mean nothing, but strength is in numbers, and it cannot hurt to let it be known that you are standing up for what is right. Many times people and organisations are coerced into doing the right thing because so many people speak out against them.

From the email:

First, go to http://www.seashepherd.org/. Click on Seal Hunts. Look for the 'What you can do' link. There is a lot of information here, whom to write, what to say, email addresses and etc.

Next, go to http://www.ifaw.org.
Click on Speak Out Against Seal Hunt. Click on Take Action. This will take you to a page where you can write a letter and add your voice to the over 9,000 already there.

Also, go to http://www.protectseals.org/ and sign the Pledge.

The most important thing you can do is 'ask others'. Get as many people as you can to take a few minutes out of their day to speak out. It may do no good at all....but then again, miracles happen every day.
