Have you seen ants and the way they work in trying to gather food for the community, such a small brain and yet the tasks the ants perform is commendable. Every life has meaning.

The Harp Seal Hunt is now taking place in Canada and may last until the
end of May. The hunt allows the killing of over 300,000
baby harp seals, many as young as 12-14 weeks. This is the largest
marine mammal hunt in the world. The way these young animals
are killed is extremely inhumane. The animals? fur is then sold.

Dear Ambassador McKenna: (for others, see above)
I am writing to ask that action be taken that will lead to the
immediate, permanent halt to the killing of Harp Seals, for this year
and all future years.
Canada is regarded by many as being among the most enlightened,
peaceful and civilized nations on earth.
I note with sadness that the photos distributed across the world of
extreme brutality being carried out against defenseless,
innocent baby Harp Seals erode this positive image of Canada and do
irreparable harm to the reputation of your country.
The seal hunt is the world?s largest mass hunt of marine mammal life,
killing over 300,000 seals each year in a way that is
unimaginably cruel and inhumane.
It is becoming impossible now to think of Canada, without seeing a
horrifying image of the slaughter of baby Harp Seals.
Thank you for your time and for your serious consideration of these
comments.
Sincerely,
(Your name)
Thank you for your continued support Network Members!
