Perhaps best known for its hockey fans, maple leaves, and Celine Dion, Canada is also home to the largest slaughter of marine mammals on Earth. Our not-as-friendly-as-we-thought neighbor to the north is responsible for hundreds of thousands of seal deaths annually. These snuggly creatures, killed for their fashionable fur, suffer a brutal death as they are viciously beat or shot to death by fishermen intent on making a profit. As the Yukon Territory prepares to host the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, it best also plan for an onslaught of criticism by animal lovers worldwide—including you! Sign the Humane Society’s pledge today; the slaughter begins in a matter of days.
