This picture of a grey pup off the coast of Nova Scotia was featured in today's Gazette. The Canadian seal hunt was postponed...until a buyer for the pelts was found, at which point sealers went out this Monday and killed 200 seals (mostly newborns and their mothers) to meet the demands. These sweet, gentle creatures are clubbed to death -- smashed in the brains with a hakapik (a 4 or 5 foot wooden pole with a bent, metal spike affixed to the end).
"I feel very sorry for women who continue to purchase real fur coats. They are lacking in a woman's most important requisites, heart and sensitivity"
"A sealer near us quickly clubbed every seal within a small radius, to immobilize each of the pups, and then dragged the bodies to the center of his circle. One by one he flipped a seal on its back and skinned it. If the seal flipped around or fought against the skinning he'd flip it back to its stomach, club it several more times and then finishing the skinning." -IFAW Hunt Monitor
Behind every beautiful fur there is a bloody, barberic story...and that is why REAL WOMEN FAKE IT.
