Canada's Shame

April is the worst time of the year. Up in Canada, something absolutely dreadful is happening. Even if you wear skins, you will find this horrifying. Canada is funding the mass killing of baby seals for fur!

Over the course of the Summer, more than 3,000 four-week-old harp seals will be beaten to death and skinned alive in full view of their mothers-all for one ugly fashion statement. If you see pictures of the seal hunt or films, you will notice endless bloody corpses across ice floes, admist of it all screaming seal mothers. Sounds too terrible to be true.
Canada claims the seal slaughter improves their economy. But it does anything but. These statistics prove a lot:
-The net profit for last year was only $1 million.
-The slaughter costs Canada $53 billion annually, which includes surveillance, fighting bans, paying for Chinese fashion shows, and more surveillance.

I got the majority of my information from this PETA info-graphic.

The following sites have ways to stop the slaughter:
