the killing fields of canada: the annual seal hunt written by eric weitzel This practice is abhorrent, grotesque, appalling and despicable... it is absolutely inhumane... On its own it is bad enough, and now global warming is melting sea ice and putting this species at risk of extinction, while the hunts continue. This is happening in my own country -- I am ashamed. Canada's federal government should put an end to these seal hunts.
The annual Canadian harp seal hunt is underway. It’s by far the largest marine mammal hunt in the world and the only commercial hunt in which the target is the infant of the species. For six to eight weeks each spring, the ice floes of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the eastern coast of Newfoundland and Labrador turn bloody, as some 300,000 harp seal pups, virtually all between 2 and 12 weeks old, are beaten to death — their skulls crushed with a heavy club called a hakapik — or shot. They are then skinned on the ice or in nearby hunting vessels after being dragged to the ships with boat hooks. The skinned carcasses are usually left on the ice or tossed in the ocean.  |

"As a vegan, it's been challenging finding designer shoes made of alternative materials. This collection offers a great selection without compromising quality or style." - Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman, Academy Award nominated and Golden Globe winning actress, fashion muse, style icon and humanitarian, was born in Jerusalem. A Harvard graduate, noted for charitable pursuits, noticed the absence of fashionable animal-friendly footwear and collaborated with Té Casan for her debut collection. Portman worked closely throughout to maintain quality standards and an exceptional design aesthetic. Dazzling, playful, elegant and free of animal products, each shoe exudes the starlet’s own personal style. All of Portman’s proceeds will be donated to various non-profit organizations dedicated to environmental preservation and animal rights.

canadian coast guard rams farley mowat |

Tuesday, 01 April 2008 |
%20Images/2008/farley%20mowat.jpg "farley mowat") sea shepherd newssource: sea shepherd The Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker CCGS Des Groseilliers twice rammed the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ship Farley Mowat today. The Coast Guard had ordered the Farley Mowat to not approach the area where seals are being slaughtered. When the Farley Mowat did not comply, the Coast Guard rammed the vessel near the port aft stern area. After the Farley Mowat stopped in the ice, the Coast Guard rammed the ship a second time in the same area of the ship causing damage to the plates in that area. The Coast Guard has demonstrated extreme recklessness with this move. The crew of the Farley Mowat were engaged in documenting the slaughter of seals. They were not interfering with the hunt. “I’m beginning to wonder if anyone on the bridge of the Groseilliers has a license to command a ship,” said Captain Alex Cornelissen. “The incompetence of the Coast Guard has already cost the lives of four sealers this week-end and now they are ramming ships in dangerous ice conditions. This is unbelievable. It’s like the Coast Guard has declared war on seal defenders and the sealers are collateral damage.” |
