EU Bans ALL Seal Products!

Canada’s cruel seal slaughter has taken a major blow today when the European Union (EU) passed a ban on ALL products made from seals.  Under the ban, it will be illegal to import any products made from seals.  Earlier this year, just the threat of a ban sent prices plummeting to $15 a skin-a 86 percent decline from 2006.

Up until today Europe was the largest market for seal products and were almost single-handedly keeping the dying industry alive.  The Humane Society of the United States says that this latest victory is the “nail in the coffin” for the once annual seal slaughter.

Many activists have worked very hard to get to this point so I’d like to thank everyone out there has participated.  There’s still work to be done however, namely, you can continue to boycott Canadian seafood as long as the slaughter is still permitted to go on. The boycott of Canadian seafood has lead to a $750 million decline in sales!  This is a great way to send the Canadian government a message.

Thanks to the compassion of the EU, millions of baby seals will be spared over the next few years.  It’s refreshing to see government policy protecting life rather than sanctioning destruction.

Protect seals, join the boycott today!
