	Dear Aaaaaaa, In just a few days, the barbaric Canadian seal slaughter will begin in earnest. Before it ends, sealers will club and shoot thousands of seals—many just weeks old—often while other young ones watch in terror. Many will not have even eaten their first solid meal or learned how to swim before they're cruelly slaughtered. Will you help us stop the slaughter of seals and other vulnerable animals for their skin by giving $5 or more today? Despite the collapse of the global market for sealskin and vocal opposition around the world, the large-scale commercial slaughter of seals is taking place again. Some will be shot to death, while others' soft skulls will be crushed with hakapiks—hooked clubs with piercing metal tips. After the seal pups are beaten to death, their killers will drag their bodies across the ice and tear the skin off them. To avoid damaging the fur as they drag them, the killers will jab the clubs' tips into the animals' eyes, cheeks, or mouths. Please donate $5 or more today and help PETA protect seals and other animals who are at risk right now. Because of PETA members and other kind people all over the world—as well as seal-product bans in the U.S., the EU, and Russia—there are few countries left that are willing to buy the bloody goods that come of this carnage. Even the Canadian government's own attempts to push seal items into the Chinese market have fallen flat, and its challenges to the EU's ban have failed just as spectacularly. Because no one is willing to wear—or eat—the results of its cruelty, the sealing industry in Canada is on life support. Were it not for the millions of dollars in subsidies paid by Canadian taxpayers, it would likely have collapsed years ago. We're as close as ever to seeing an end to this massacre, and we must press forward now. Thank you for all that you're doing to help prevent the cruel and violent deaths of baby seals and other animals who are in harm's way. Kind regards, Danielle Katz Associate Director PETA P.S. While the Canadian commercial sealing industry may be a shadow of its former self, it will still kill thousands of young seals this year. Your gift today will immediately support our vital work to stop the slaughter and save more living beings from cruelty.
