	Canada's shameful slaughter of defenseless seal pups has been going on for three days now, and already thousands of terrified baby seals have been violently killed. But momentum is on our side, and we're closer than ever to ending this massacre. Your generous gift today will help keep up that momentum by immediately strengthening our work for seals and other animals used for their skins. Please, make a gift today for the seals and all other animals who desperately need our help.

	Dear Joseph, Beginning this week, thousands of seals—most between the ages of 3 weeks and 3 months—will be barbarically killed and may even be skinned alive, each one a victim of Canada's East Coast commercial seal slaughter. We need your help to put an end to this massacre. Your gift right now will help us spare countless young seals and other animals a terrifying, painful death for their skin and flesh. Make your donation of just $5 or more to PETA today! Even after young harp seals lose their white baby fur at just a few weeks of age, they're still babies. Left to thrive in the wild, they can live for more than 30 years as part of a large, social colony. But that idyllic life has been replaced with a nightmare, as sealers head out onto the ice with guns and hakapiks—thick wooden clubs that have a sharp metal hook on one end. Many seals won't die after the first blow, and they'll thrash around and scream in pain in front of other terrified seals who will soon meet the same violent end. Your support today will immediately power our vital work to end this and other nightmares for animals. Even $5 will help! The slaughter that began this week is an ugly stain on Canada's global reputation, and it should have ended long ago. The country's attempts to create a market for the fur, meat, and oil from slaughtered seals are failing, and seal-fur "products" remain banned across the EU, Russia, and the United States. Recently, India hammered another nail into the sealing industry's coffin with news that it, too, would prohibit the import of all seal "products"—a victory that comes after more than a decade of pressure from PETA India and other compassionate people. With virtually no one interested in buying the vile "products," the only thing keeping this bloody industry alive today is the millions in Canadian taxpayer money poured into government subsidies for sealers. We WILL END the seal slaughter, but we need your support. Make a gift of just $5 or more today and help protect the thousands of baby seals and other animal victims of the global skins trade. Thank you so much for your support. Kind regards, Ingrid E. Newkirk President
