IFAW Seal Campaign
I've just received a notice from the International Fund for Animal
Welfare which advises that the Canadian seal hunt will begin again
in March.

I've put a link direct to their main seal hunt campaign site, and it
would be wonderful if people could write a letter of protest to the
Canadian Government, or representative in your country, and perhaps
donate.

I thought it was all over twenty years ago, and it's hard to believe
that after the success of the original campaign, it's all happening
again, but it is.

And if you donate, they send you Christmas stickers with harp seals,
so you can get the message out with your Christmas mail.

Please help if you can.

1. 2005 should be a big year for this campaign
I believe Sea Shepherd is gearing up to go to the ice again, too. Last season's hunt killed...I mean "culled" what, 321,000 seals?

2. According to IFAW, there will be one million seals killed
over the next three years, so your figure sounds about right.
