Thanks for posting this, Eva. I just signed. As a Canadian, I am so very ashamed that my own government has always condoned this barbaric practice. What the petition doesn't tell you is the Newfoundlanders used to club the baby seals to death, or maybe some of them still do. And if the mother seal got too close, they would club her too. They hang the "killing club" up in their home because it's a "proud" Newfoundland tradition going back for over a hundred years. The petition doesn't say this either, that they murder the seals for their fur, which they strip off from their warm bodies, and then haul the carcasses away in dump trucks. Disgusting! And guess what, only in Canada!
