Take a stand against the cruel seal slaughter by writing to the Canadian government today!

The Agonist (Alissa) speaks up for peta2 and compassion
It's time to put Canada's great shame -- the annual seal slaughter, during which hundreds of thousands of harp seals are clubbed and beaten to death -- in the spotlight. Every year at this time, sealers take to the ice to bludgeon migrating seals and their babies, all for the sake of selling fur pelts on the international market.
If there were no demand for fur [thank you, dog fur salesman P Diddy Sean Puff Daddy Combs], there would be no seal slaughter.
We don't understand why people would want to wear a dead animal (and contribute to the devastating environmental effects of fur production), and neither does Alissa.
Watch our exclusive video with Alissa -- a lifelong vegetarian -- to learn why she is so passionate (and compassionate) that she is willing to stick up for seals and why she will always take a stand against animal cruelty. Then take a stand by writing to the Canadian government!
