I am a lover of seafood and it’s likely that some of what I buy is from Canada, but still I have signed this petition and I would urge you to as well, my friends–Protect Seals:
Make Canada’s Fishing Industry Pay the Price
Even though most Canadians oppose the commercial seal hunt, their government and seafood industry continue to support the slaughter. The ProtectSeals campaign believes that while Canadian officials can afford to ignore the public outcry, they will ultimately listen when money talks. So far, nearly 140,000 individuals from around the world, and more than 400 restaurants and other businesses, have pledged to boycott some or all Canadian seafood until the hunt is ended.
If you are willing to take more action, here is the list of businesses who have yet to join the boycott (many of these will not surprise you)–send them a message via their contact pages and if you frequent their businesses, consider going to their fish counters and telling them why you will not buy the products OR just stop shopping there entirely (easier said than done when just about every grocery chain is on this list–including, shockingly, Trader Joe’s!??!?! Et tu, Trader Joe’s?).
AND here is the list of businesses who HAVE supported the boycott–you can thank them by supporting their business and when you do, tell them why. (YAY, Legal Seafoods!!! Not only does your food kick ass but so do you!).
