Canada's commercial seal hunt occurs on the ice floes off Canada's East Coast in two areas: the Gulf of St. Lawrence (west of Newfoundland and east of the Magdalen Islands) and the "Front" (northeast of Newfoundland). Animal Activists made the hunt known worldwide in the early 1960's.

For several decades the Canadian Federal Government has sanctioned an annual slaughter of the Harp Seals off the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is estimated that 85 to 87% of all Canadians are against the slaughter and are ashamed of the horrible blight that has been a shadow of shame on their country.
This petition can be signed by all Canadian citizens regardless of age. We request that you sign the online petition and then copy and paste the following form into a word document and collect signatures.

PETITION TO THE House of Commons, House of Commons in Parliament assembled.
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada wish to bring to your attention the horror of the annual Canadian Seal hunt off the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Our goal is to collect 300,000 signatures in order that this request for a plebiscite will show the Canadian Government that the majority of the citizens of Canada are against the annual seal hunt. We encourage you to contact your member of parliament and ask if he/she will support this action.
If we, the citizens of Canada, all pull together, we have a very good chance of having this annual horror stopped. We thank you in advance for your dedication to this petition.
