Protest for the Seals
By Lilly Anna
If you are as disgusted as most people are over seal hunting then join in the worldwide protest. On March 21 of 2011, animal lovers from all walks of life will come together for a peaceful protest against the barbaric clubbing of seals. Show your love for animals and your hatred for the brutal seal hunts. Give the seals a voice.
Animal welfare organizations, including In Defense of Animals, Coalition for Animal Rights, Seal Pup Defenders, Oceanic Defence, and Fur Free South Africa are in for the long haul and fight everyday for this cruelty to terminate. Each year over 500,000 infant seals are beaten to death, then slit open with a sharp knife (from the throat to tail) and the pelt removed. Some seals are still alive during this process and up to twenty minutes after. Left to die on the ice or tossed into the ocean, they are almost never eaten. These glorious creatures are killed for their fur, to robe those who see it as a status symbol. Yet, turn a blind eye to the vile and evil acts that occur, before they get their garment. 
The largest seal murdering event is the Nambian Seal Cull, a hunt that is masterminded by Hatum Yuvaz Deri. When activist or reporters try to get footage of the event they are attacked! Not a lot of footage has been procured in Nambia, which is probably why there isn’t much chatter about it, but it continues behind a shield of blood. There is no excuse for this behavior, it is unacceptable and must be stopped, at all cost.
