These seals are slaughtered every year. There is a team that have been documenting the slaughter for 11 years and will keep doing so until the slaughter stops. They must show the world this disgusting, sickening brutality.
These seals are 3 weeks old when they are clubbed to death and skinned for their fur.
The Sealers are becoming smart. They know people don't like the images of their dirty work. They now make sure as soon as cameras come they disappear. They leave a couple of survivors behind to shut people up. Still, 19,200 were killed!
From Rebecca Aldworth's blog entry:
" Today was very hard.
Sealers from the Magdalen Islands had already killed most of the seals allotted to them in their quota by the end of yesterday. So it was likely they would kill the rest today very quickly.
We would only have a few hours to film the cruel reality of this slaughter.
Our helicopters left at dawn, battling gale force winds to reach the killing zone. On the horizon, I could see sealing vessels working their way through the ice floes, slaughtering as many seals as they could before the quota was filled. We came closer, and the blood began to appear. Giant pools of it, spread all across the ice. Every few hundred feet, dozens of carcasses were abandoned in macabre piles. "
Please, if you care at all SHARE this story. Do not accept this. It is unthinkable that something so brutal still happens today. You don't have to donate. Just read the updates and see what you can do to help spread the word.
