Picture and poem by Karen Lyons Kalmenson
Poem:
for those who hunt me because i am a seal
did you ever stop to think just how i feel
i just want to sit on my rocks and ice
if you would leave me be, that would be so nice
my fur is mine, not yours for the taking
just look at all the red blood you are making
go back to your homes, your families, your wives
and leave us seals alone to enjoy our lives!

We have all at one point changed our jobs because of being replaced. We don't need seal fur or any other product from their horrific suffering. Seals are in so much trouble because of the environment , please leave them in peace!
