worldlyanimals: Stop the Seal Hunt!As soon as newborn (also known as “whitecoat”) harp seals begin to shed their white coats, as young as 12 days of age, they can be legally killed in Canada. Baby seals that are shedding their white coats are called “ragged jackets” and thousands of them are killed each year. Images of ragged jackets are nearly indistinguishable from those of “whitecoats” and are sometimes used by animal protection groups. Official DFO kill reports show 97% of the seals killed over the past five years have been under 3 months of age, and the majority has been less than one month old.Many of these seals had not even taken their first swim.The government of Canada regularly provides subsidies to the sealing industry through Human Resources Development Canada, the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and other federal programs. These subsidies are provided in the form of grants and loans to seal processing plants, sealing industry associations and private companies, and cover capital costs, employee salaries, operating expenses, and product development and marketing. In 2004 alone, more than $450,000 was provided by the Canadian government to two companies to develop seal products. Additionally, the Canadian Coast Guard continues to break ice for sealing vessels at taxpayer’s expense.Regardless of the killing implement used, the commercial seal hunt is inherently cruel because of the environment in which it operates. Canada’s commercial seal hunt is an industrial scale slaughter conducted with hundreds of vessels over hundreds of miles of ocean. Sealers compete against each other to fill quotas, killing as many animals as quickly as they can. In 2005, more than 146,000 seals were killed in just two days in Newfoundland; another 101,000 were killed over three days in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  (Dave Ward Photography)
