International Day of Action for the Seals 2010

Help stop the seal hunt forever. Spread the word and educate people in your community.

Below are some of the events that took place around the world in March 2010 for the International Day of Action for the Seals.

This event is held just before the sealers begin slaughtering baby harp seals in Canada. But this must not be the only time seal activists take to the streets.

Keeping up the pressure year round is what will end the seal 'hunt' forever.
