Dear [Decision Maker]

Message: [Edit below]
I am boycotting Canadian seafood because Canadian fishermen are responsible for the annual massacre of harp seals in Canada. Tens of thousands of defenselss pups are brutally killed for their fur each year by off-season fishermen. Moreover, the Canadian fishing industry supports this slaughter, believing that the more seals they kill, the more fish they can catch. Not only is this view incorrect; it is dangerous. Harp seals are an important part of the ecosystem. They are not overpopulated. Fish and other sea animals are imperiled by over-fishing and destructive fishing practices that Canadian fishermen and fishermen from other nations engage in. I am writing to you today to ask that your company stop buying seafood from Canada in order to discourage fishermen from participating in the cruel seal slaughter and pressure the Canadian fishing industry to stop engaging in destructive practices.
