Annual Canadian seal slaughter underway

Once again, the exceedingly grotesque and cruel Canadian seal slaughter (misnamed as a "hunt") has begun, in which baby seals are clubbed, shot, or skinned to death, or left to die, all for the greed and vanity of some individuals and governments. There is little I can say about this sickening practice that has not already been said. For more information and for actions that you can take, please see the Humane Society of the U.S. website or the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).
