Dear [Decision Maker]

Message: [Edit below]
After seeing photos and videos and reading about Canada's seal slaughter, I have decided not to travel to Canada until this barbaric massacre is stopped. I am appalled that Canada would allow such a cruel and unnecessary massacre to take place each year. I have heard that the government promotes and even subsidizes this slaughter. This is unconscionable. I have learned that the sealers are off-season fishermen who make just a small percentage of their income from sealing and also kill seals because they believe that they will then catch more fish. This reflects a poor understanding of complex ocean ecosystems. In your role as a steward of Canadian tourism businesses, I urge you to pressure the Canadian government to end the seal slaughter in order to protect your constituents' interests. Moreover, your organization could help the tourism industry by promoting seal eco-tourism once the seal massacre is banned.
