Stop The International Polar Bear Trade


Polar bears are majestic creatures that deserve to roam free unharmed. Shockingly, in some countries, souvenirs made from polar bear skin, claws, skulls and more are still available for purchase. Each year, hundreds of polar bears die senselessly to support this barbaric trade.

Tell Canada to stand up for their polar bears! Ask Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to strengthen protections for these threatened creatures and support an international ban on polar bear souvenirs.

Tell Harper To Stop Commercial Seal Hunt In Canada


Canada is about to do more than the government-sanctioned slaughter of 400,000 baby seals. But Prime Minister Harper is aggressively pushing products from this cruelty -- even to countries that have banned seal products.


There is no economic, scientific, or ethical argument that can support the shooting, clubbing, and skinning of defenseless seal pups. People around the world have the right to refuse these cruel and unethical products. Prime Minister Stephen Harper needs to know he can't push seal products on countries that don't want them.

Help the Seal Pups - Boycott Canadian Seafood




Hundreds of thousands of baby seals are in danger of slaughter here on the ice floes off Canada's east coast just weeks from now. As you can see the seal hunting process is cruel and insane, we cannot just watch it while these beautiful angels suffer like this!

It’s the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet, and the Canadian government has sanctioned even more killing this year.

We want you to boycott Canadian seafood. Why? Because the boycott works. Canadian fishermen kill baby seals for their fur during the off-season. They earn only a tiny fraction of their annual incomes from killing seals -- most of their wages come from fisheries like snow crab.

In the past six years, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have pledged to not buy Canadian seafood -- like snow crab -- and the industry’s bottom line has taken a nose dive.

It’s up to you and me and every conscientious, humane person out there to send the Canadian fishing industry a message they can’t ignore: Stop killing defenseless seal pups, or we won't buy your seafood.

Join the 2011 boycott to save seals and be part of this historic campaign to end this brutal hunt at last.

Help Stop the "Sickening" Sable Island Seal Slaughter Plan


A recent report brought to light a proposal prepared for the Government of Canada that would see 220,000 grey seals killed and incinerated in their protected Sable Island nursery.

To reach the proposed number of 220,000 seals, the cull and disposal program would run at birthing time each year for about five years and cost Canadian taxpayers an estimated $35 million.

Please urge the Canadian government to categorically reject this outrageous proposal.
