Noted fashion photographer and "America's Next Top Model"
host Nigel Barker, as we previously mentioned, has joined
with The Humane Society of the United States to stop the cruel Canadian
seal hunt. He's designed his own T-shirt to raise awareness of the
hunt and has been wearing it everywhere - from Fashion Week to the red
carpet. In early March, he traveled with The HSUS's ProtectSeals
team to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and photographed the wonder of the harp
seal nursery. Now he's holding a contest to see who can get the most
people to sign a pledge to boycott Canadian seafood. And we are in
it to win it! The real prize is ending this pointless hunt once and
for all.
Why boycott Canadian seafood?
Seal hunting is an off-season activity for Canada's commercial fisherman,
who earn a small fraction of their incomes from killing baby seals for
their fur. That's why a financial blow to the commercial fishing
industry's seafood exports is key to bringing about an end to this vicious
slaughter.
I hope you'll sign the pledge and then tell more
friends. The contest ends at midnight EDT March 24th, so
please take action right now. Thanks for joining me
in ending this cruel hunt.
1. Sign the pledge - quick,
easy, and free (of course) - right here.
2. Consider
buying your own "Make A Fashion Statement" seal tee from Nigel Barker here.
3. Forward this
message to your friends and family to let them know about the
important pledge to sign! Just copy and paste the following into a
new e-mail message to your contacts/address
book:
We won't stop
until we see an end to this merciless practice in and around Canadian
waters! You can even find more here on how to help. THANK YOU for your help!
