Seals Slaughter Canada Day hunt clubbing
There are many things to love about Canada (not least of which is the vegan faux chicken available at many KFC's across the country). Unfortunately, the Great White North's reputation has been stained red by their continued support for slaughtering seals.
As Canadians and their international admirers are celebrating Canada Day today, PETA and its affiliates made sure that nobody forgot those "citizens" who won't be celebrating—because they've been clubbed to death.
To draw attention to the issue, activists held demonstrations at Canadian consulates and embassies around the world. Check out this one, all the way from London, England!
There were also some brave "seals" crashing Canada Day parades all across the country. What can we say? Seals like to party too.
Make sure to leave your comment below, encouraging the Canadian government to give seals something to celebrate!

Canada Canada Day
Oh, Canada—how I love you. Aside from the fact that you've given me some great friends, you have some absolutely amazing Street Teamers, too.
Here are just a few other reasons why peta2 hearts Canada:
- MTV Canada had peta2's very own Dan Shannon on MTV Live
- Silverstein, Pam Anderson, and Ryan Gosling, amongst other amazing animal-loving celebs, all hail from Canada
- We rocked a demonstration with well over 100 Street Teamers in Toronto after peta2's Take Action conference
- And of course, the company that coordinates the purchase of chickens for all KFCs in Canada agreed to a historic new animal welfare plan, and we ended our boycott in Canada
To all you Canadian blog readers out there: Happy Canada Day!
