Seals UK fur furisdead seal slaughter
Here's a guest blog from Sarah over at peta2 UK. Very exciting news!
-Pulin
Today the European Parliament has taken a positive vote that will end the sale of seal products across the European Union!
Thousands of you emailed the EU Parliament asking them to vote in favour of the ban—because of you, the EU Parliament has recognised that this slaughter can never, ever be humane.
The ban will undoubtedly deal a strong blow to the profits of those who kill seals, and that will in turn result in less blood on the ice.

This ban stops the sale of all seal products in the EU and should stop products of the commercial Canadian and Namibian slaughters reaching the market.
There is no excuse to massacre our cute friends, the seals, so let's work on putting an end to the Canadian seal slaughter. Sign peta2's petition if you haven't already!
On behalf of animals everywhere—thank you!

=D =D =D great work guys and great blog sar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the canadian seal slaughter is about the import of fur idiot people wont go hungry now im sick of peoples attitudes about animals being used for food do you think for example cows naturally breed so fast and breed so there muscles are stronger each time no so shut the hell up and stuff a carrot in your mouth and realise that animals shouldnt be made to suffer for some fur or a meal..its so unnessesary.
