Demonstrations to get involved with

Demonstrate your inner softie For those of you who can only go to protests if it's about something warm and fluffy... Protest Against The Canadian Seal Hunt This week, hundreds of thousands of baby seals will be clubbed, shot and skinned by canadian fisherman eager to make a profit by selling their fur. Most of the seals are under 3 months old when they are clubbed or shot to death. Many are skinned while they are still alive. Canada has continued to support this barbaric hunt despite world wide opposition. Animal rights activists who attempt to expose the cruelty by filming the hunt are being arrested while the hunt continues. Its time to show the Canadian government what we think of the mass murder of seals.
