Ellen,
Right now, on the ice off Canada’s East Coast, fragile baby seals who are only a few weeks old spend their days resting and slowly building the strength they’ll need to survive—yet they remain utterly defenseless.
With the Canadian commercial seal hunt having just begun yesterday, baby seals will be shot and clubbed as they try to escape unimaginable cruelty. Wounded pups will be left to suffer and die slowly beneath the ice. Others will be impaled on metal hooks—some while still conscious—dragged across the ice, hoisted onto bloody boat decks and beaten to death for their fur. And as the hunt continues to ramp up, this suffering will only intensify.
The situation is dire, but you can help. A 4X Challenge is currently in effect, meaning your gift today can be quadrupled in impact to defend seals and other animals worldwide at their most vulnerable moment. Together, we can reach our $200,000 goal for animals in need. Donate now!
