Yet again, we have a difficult situation at hand. It's the grey seals in Canada that are in trouble. Authorities there feel that these grey seals are killing the cods in the waters, which is not true as they are depleting due to continuous over fishing for many years. The goal is to get 30,000 signatures and right now we have more than 14,000. So, kindly sign and forward the message around after reading the whole story.
A recent report brought to light a proposal prepared for the Government of Canada that would see 220,000 grey seals killed and incinerated in their protected Sable Island nursery.
To reach the proposed number of 220,000 seals, the cull and disposal program would run at birthing time each year for about five years and cost Canadian taxpayers an estimated $35 million. Please urge the Canadian government to categorically reject this outrageous proposal.
Of course, this disgusting grey seal massacre will not help the recovery of depleted cod stocks. Culling of marine mammals has never been shown to benefit any commercial fish stock. According to your own scientists, the current state of cod stocks is the result of the long-term effects of overfishing — not grey seals.
