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.
