Worldwide Protests Against Canadian Seal Hunt
IDA, Greenpeace, HSUS, and Others Join Forces Locally in SF
On Tuesday, March 15, In Defense of Animals (IDA) joined dozens of animal and environmental protection groups in a massive worldwide protest of the annual Canadian seal slaughter scheduled to begin just days from now. Every year, the Canadian Government sanctions the killing of 350,000 seals off the country's eastern shores, most of whom are just days or weeks old, and are shot, beaten, stabbed and often skinned alive. Many eyewitnesses have even seen hunters sadistically torturing seals with apparent pleasure and absolutely no regard for the animals' pain. Demonstrations were held in 50 cities in twenty-eight countries, including four Canadian provinces.
