EU seeks input on attitudes toward seal hunting. Please add your voice.
The European Commission is considering a seal-product trade ban that would save millions of seals from a horrible fate. You can help convince the EU to end the cruel seal product trade now! Take the EU's survey today to tell them what you think. Find more info and a link to it here:

http://www.hsus.org/about_us/humane_society_international_hsi/seal_trade_ban.html

This one is a little more involved than the usual "sign your e-mail to the form letter and hit Send," as it's actually a questionnaire to go through, but it's definitely worth a few minutes of your time. Currently the EU is a major importer of seal products, and a ban would drastically lower the demand, making the yearly atrocity of the seal hunt unprofitable. There's simply no excuse to kill an animal for a "luxury" pelt, let alone in the brutal way that young seals are massacred.

Some of the questions and options are phrased badly, as none of them are really the best answer, and some seem deliberately written as a double-bind, but try to choose the best answer anyway. If you find a particular question really un-answerable as written, you can leave it blank.

Although it concerns a potential EU law, you can comment, no matter where you live. They want to measure international opinion on the proposal to ban seal products, so anyone anywhere in the world can take part. Tell the EU you want a ban on the seal product trade!

The deadline for the European Union to hear your views is February 13. Please add your voice today, while you're thinking of it.
