Letter to Canadian Prime Minister about Seal Slaughter - 25 Mar 2008

Office Of The Prime Minister Stephen Harper
80 Welllington Street Ottawa, Canada K1A 0A2

Dear Prime Minister Harper:

I hope you will take the time to read this entire message and view the two video films.

Prime Minister Harper, supporting and promoting the torture and completely unnecessary killing of baby seals every year in Canada could prove to be the biggest mistake you will ever make as Prime Minister.

Conversely, your actions designed to permanently stop the massacre of baby seals could be the wisest and most important decision you will ever make as Prime Minister.

How many people that have or will see films like the ones that follow decide to no longer travel to Canada and no longer purchase products made in Canada?

How many people and organizations have already decided to boycott anything that has to do with Canada?

The following videos of what happens to baby seals in Canada are just a few of the many videos being broadcast by many organizations and are being viewed continually throughout the world.

Prime Minister Harper, do you really think this kind of exposure is good for Canada?

Would you want your children and all the children in Canada, mature enough to understand, to view the following films?

Whatever immediate financial benefits Canada's economy may gain from the mass destruction of seals for their fur will be nothing like the potential economic loses suffered by all of Canada resulting from a huge decline in world stature just because of needlessly destroying millions of precious baby seals.

This is a huge price to pay for not admitting you are wrong!

What a disgusting reason to destroy millions of baby seals.

The wise and compassionate decision you should immediately make is to announce to the world that you have begun the process of stopping this years seal hunt with an emergency injunction until legislation can be officially considered and approved designed to permanently stop all future seal hunts in Canada.

Prime Minister Harper, this is your chance to go against the status quo and set an example of the benefits of supporting kindness and life for baby seals.

The good will you will promote throughout the world because of your bold and morally correct actions will pay huge dividends for Canada!

Prime Minister Harper, this is your chance and opportunity to shine. I hope you will take advantage of it.

Most Canadians and most people in the world will be proud of you, and admire you, because you had the guts to save the baby seals!

Thank you.
