I just received this email today about plans to slaughter thousands of harp seals by the Canadian government. I don't know much about this issue, however, the email comes from Captain Paul Watson, a very reputable source. Read below, and sign up if you'd like to help out!

SEA SHEPHERD NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Posted by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 19, 2003 - 12:54 EST I am building an e-mail army of compassionate warriors to oppose the Canadian seal slaughter. The Government of Canada intends to kill
over 350,000 harp seals each year for the next three years. This cruel and wasteful slaughter is a subsidized hunt implemented by the Canadian government to scapegoat the seals for the Canadian government's mismanagement of the seal hunt.

We are launching a three year campaign to oppose the slaughter of the seals. If you join this list, you will receive regular updates on the
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's campaign. If you wish to become involved in distributing e-mail protests and supporting actions against the seal slaughter, please respond by sending your name and e-mail address to me.

I would like to build up an initial list of 6000 names to make create a legion of cyber warriors to be called upon to assist when needed.
If you care about stopping this cruel slaughter of seals please join the list. Reply with your name and e-mail address.


Please foreword this message to everyone you know who might be interested in helping. Lets use the power of the internet to recruit the numbers we need to defeat this annual bloody massacre on the East Coast of Canada.

Thank-you.

Please visit:
www.boycott-canada.com
and click on 'what you can do'.

In approximately 5 days time 350,000 10/12 day old seals will be clubbed on
the ice, many will be skinned alive, many of those while fully conscious.
Please publicise this web address as widely as you are able.
Thank you very much.

:cry:

When I was really young, I had an orange "Save the Seals" t-shirt.

One day I hope this slaughter will stop.
