Why Vegans Should Support the Canadian Seafood Boycott
The seal hunt is changing the eco-system of Canada’s Ocean life. It actually promotes more fishing. The outcome is the seals being tortured and killed for fur, leaving more available fish to be unnaturally killed and sold.
While we don't condone the consumption of seafood refusing to help end the seal hunt DOES NOT help promote veganism.
Closing the seal market DOES help.
The Canadian government has even gone so far as having the public fund the hunt, since the boycotts and EU ban are BEGINNING to take their toll. However, their stubbornness has caused them to INCREASE their kill quota. With the EU ban holding firm and the price of pelts being so low, the fisherman (who only make 5% of their annual income from killing seals) will find that eco-friendly endeavors which have been presented to them for off-season work, will prove more beneficial.
Closing the seal pelt market is the only way to stop the annual massacre forever.
We’ve made it easy for you to contact stores and politicians who are responsible for keeping the annual hunt going if you care to help, rather than letting the seals die in addition to the fish.

A European Union judge has refused to suspend a ban on commercial seal products, delivering a blow to Canada's trade.
On Thursday, Judge Marc Jaeger rejected the argument the embargo of seal products would cause severe financial damage to Inuit communities.
The decision can be appealed. But a total ban will now be in effect until the European Court of Justice decides on the import ban's legality.
The EU's ban originally took effect in August, but a temporary exemption was granted to Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), which represents Canada's 53,000 Inuit people, and 15 other groups from Canada, Greenland and Norway, who argued in court the ban is unfair and discriminatory.
The European ban is aimed at the commercial seal hunt, which animal rights groups have denounced as cruel and inhumane.
The EU ban does exempt seal products harvested by Inuit, non-profit population management culls and products for travellers' personal use.
About $2.5 million worth of Canadian seal products are shipped to Europe annually.
Canadian officials have called the EU import ban "flagrant discrimination" and "illegal and immoral."
Canada has requested additional World Trade Organization consultations with the EU about the ban.
