PETA just launched a celebrity filled campaign to stop the slaughter of seals in Canada. According to their website:
“Each year, the Canadian government allows sealers to beat and skin hundreds of thousands of seals. Baby seals, some merely weeks old, have their skulls smashed in or are shot for their fur. Many of these gentle animals may not even have eaten their first solid meals or taken their first swim before they are slaughtered.”
The list of celebs who have donned t-shirts and posed for pictures in support of the seals is a long one that includes Pamela Anderson, Animal Collective (to the left), Perez Hilton, Jennie Garth, Sugar Mosley and more.
You can get involved with the campaign to try and get the Olympic committee to speak out against the slaughter by going to the “act” section of this post. With all the publicity that is about to happen with Canada the time is definitely now!
