Sign the Petition to Save the Seals & spread the word!! Photo downloads also available - see message for details :)

		Take the ProtectSeals Challenge -- sign the petition, then spread the word.

		I'll never forget the first time I saw the shocking images: conscious seal pups being clubbed over the head and dragged across the ice ... with some baby seals even skinned alive. I vowed right then to do everything I could to help stop this senseless cruelty. - Nigel Barker
		Sign the petition urging the EU to ban trade in seal products!

Two weeks ago Humane Society International's ProtectSeals team escorted British actor Alison Steadman and "America's Next Top Model" judge and fashion photographer Nigel Barker to the Canadian ice floes. They came to experience the beauty of the harp seal nursery and to shine a spotlight on the enormous potential for eco-tourism in the region, as well as the impending slaughter of these young pups.

Today, I invite you to join Alison, Nigel and everyone on our ProtectSeals team in our efforts to spread the word about this cruelty. Many people still do not realize that Canadian fishermen brutally kill hundreds of thousands of baby seals every year, just for their fur. They are set to slaughter 275,000 this year alone.

One important way that you can help is by signing our petition calling on European legislators to ban the seal product trade.

Right now, the European Commission is considering proposing a ban on seal product trade in the European Union -- a move many believe could spell the end of commercial seal hunting globally. We need people all over the world to sign our petition urging the EU to ban its trade in all seal products now.

After you've signed, please take ProtectSeals Petition Challenge and ask all of your friends and family to sign, too.

The five people who recruit the most new pledge signers will win a new seals T-shirt designed by Nigel. Everyone who invites their friends to sign the petition can download some of Nigel's beautiful seal photos for their computer wallpaper. The more people you get to sign the petition between now and midnight April 1, the greater the chance you'll have to win!

Your involvement during these next few weeks is critical -- because our campaign is starting to achieve real results:

Global markets for seal products are closing.
Prices paid to sealers are falling.
Governments are condemning commercial seal hunting.
The ProtectSeals boycott of Canadian seafood is gaining momentum.
Canadians are speaking out against the seal hunt.

It only takes a few minutes to speak up for baby seals. If we all act now, this spring's Canadian hunt may be the last commercial seal hunt any of us ever has to witness.

Sincerely,

Andrew Rowan
Chief Executive Officer
Humane Society International
