"Canada's shame" - protest at seal pup slaughter

Submitted by peter on Fri, 13/11/2009 - 6:31pm

If like me you thought that bludgeoning baby seals to death was something that ended years ago, then think again: this year over 60,000 harp seal pups were slaughtered, and the figure would have been five times larger if fear of a European Union ban on seal products had not led many fishermen to stay at home (source: http://www.harpseals.org/).

Coming out of ACMI at Federation Square on my way to a rally in support of the people of Honduras - report coming soon - my eye was caught by an unexpected sight across the way in front of the Australian Racing Museum - which was otherwise advertising the celebration on Sunday 2 August of the traditional "horses' birthday":

There is a short video of the protest on EngageMedia - http://www.engagemedia.org/Members/pc/videos/peta-1aug09.mpg/view - also available on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvZPOxk9Klw
