Stop the Cruel Slaughter of Seals in Canada
Despite a public outcry across the globe, every year hunters in Canada massacre hundreds of thousands of seals in order to sell their skins and rake in profits, and this year the total allowable catch has been set at 275,000 baby harp seals. Your voice is urgently needed to help urge the Canadian government to ban the killing of seals once and for all! Add your name to PETA's global petition calling on Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to bring a permanent end to the annual seal hunt. http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/seal_hunt_skins
Tracking State Legislation to Protect Animals
The Humane Society of the United States is a voice for animals in state capitals throughout the country. Some of the pressing issues include strengthening state animal cruelty laws, adding additional elements to animal fighting laws, outlawing exotic animals as pets, banning Internet hunting and canned hunting, prohibiting the practice of force-feeding birds, and supporting ballot measures that protect animals from cruelty and suffering. Check out legislation nationwide.
