ANNUAL CANADIAN BABY SEAL
SLAUGHTER BEGINS SOON
PROTEST SEAL FUR NEW YORK CITY - FIFTH
AVENUE
SATURDAY, January 26th
In a few short weeks, off
the eastern coast of Canada,
the annual seal slaughter will turn
the ice bright red
with the blood of murdered innocents.
Thousands of
baby seals, some just weeks old, will be
bludgeoned
with hakapics (wooden clubs with sharp metal hooks
at
the tip) and some will be skinned alive, with their
mothers
close by, bellowing in fear, anger and
frustration. In the past
3 years, Canadian killers
have taken the lives of approximately
1,000,000 baby
seals. Despite global public outcry the
slaughter
will continue this Spring.

On
Saturday, January 26th, activists will visit the
stores of
fashion designers who sell seal fur
products. We will let these
designers know that they
cannot support the massacre of baby
seals and still do
business on the streets of New York City. At
the same
time, we will continue our crusade to make
it
unbearable to wear fur on the sidewalks of New York.
We
will be moving from location to location, so make
sure to dress
comfortably and to wear good walking
shoes.
When:
Saturday, January 26, 2008 @ 2:00 pm
Where: 724 Fifth Ave
(between 56th & 57th Sts.)
If late call: 1-646-267-9934
If
you are late, call us at: 1-646-267-9934 and we
will tell you
where we are. You don't need posters,
banners or literature...we
have all of that (unless of
course you have something you want
to bring, then by
all means bring it along). All you need is
your
passion and a loud voice to speak up for the animals.
In
the coming weeks we will be continuing the fight to
stop the
Canadian seal slaughter before it begins. For
notification of
future events, send us an e-mail
asking to be added to our
e-mail action alert list.
