Up to a quota of another 350,000 baby seals, again this year, will be clubbed, shot, hooked and skinned (many while conscious) — in the annual blood-bath that is subsidized by the Canadian government.

Here are 5 articles, followed by a website devoted to the topic:

“Canada’s cowardly face”, by Matthew Scully

“The Madelinots’ cries of Nous ne sommes pas des bouchers! óWe are not butchers!ósounded hollow when accompanied by photographs of upraised clubs and bloodstained ice. “

Canadian Green Party Condemns the Canadian Seal Hunt

“The killing of these seals is the government’s attempts to hide its own mismanagement of the cod fishery by blaming seals for damage done by human overfishing.” — David Loan, IFAW campaign manager

“The Killing Fields”

Harpseals.org includes information and ways to help.

We remember today, O God, the slaughter of the holy innocents of Bethlehem by King Herod. Receive, we pray, into the arms of your mercy all innocent victims; and by your great might frustrate the designs of evil tyrants and establish your rule of justice, love, and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
