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!

We at peta2 know the value of using humor to get a serious message across. That's why we can appreciate this digital animation project created by students at the College of the North Atlantic (the Fightin' Atlantics!) It will probably change the way people view seal clubbing forever.

I present to you: "The Shame of the North Atlantic"!

Putting Virtual Seal Slaughterers in Their Place April 14, 2009

This past Saturday, we joined many others in World of Warcraft to battle four Horde seal killers to bring light to the current slaughter that's going on in Canada. Many joined our fight, including the mother seals who killed a bunch of Horde to stop them from bashing their seal babies' heads in. It makes you wonder how many baby seals would be killed in Canada if the mother seals were an equal match for the seal murderers

Though many additional Horde members came to slaughter seals and at times the Alliance were outnumbered, the battle was overall successful. Because of this battle, there are so many more people who know about the seal slaughter and exactly what happens to baby seals.



So thank you to all of those who came out to try to stop the seal slaughter. To learn more about how you can help IRL (that's "in real life", n00bs), please click here.

Canadian Seal Slaughter Starts Today! March 23, 2009

This is it, folks. If you haven't written to the Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee yet, now's the time!

Not only did Canada's annual seal slaughter start today, they've actually increased the number of seals that can be slaughtered. This means that seal killers can legally bash in the heads of up to 338,200 seals in the coming weeks. That's right—the world's biggest marine mammal slaughter just got bigger.

Thankfully, the international outrage about this year's slaughter is also bigger than ever, as shown by recent protests across the U.S., Canada, U.K., and this great one, sent to us all the way from the European nation of Croatia.

Incase you need a visual reminder of just how disgusting the seal slaughter is, click on the video below:
