Hoje é um dia feliz! Os votos no parlamento Europeu fizeram justiça e a UE cessou a comercialização de peles de foca Canadianas! Uma grande vitória que tens graves repercussões na viabilidade económica deste negócio e que nos coloca muito mais próximo do objectivo final: a proibição desta caça no país de origem! Obrigado a todos os que votaram! Há que ir em frente!
- Mails da Peta e IFAW:Dear João,
There's been a huge victory for seals today! Thanks to the tireless efforts of members and supporters, PETA has scored a major victory for baby seals who have their heads bashed in or are shot for their skins in Canada's annual massacre on ice.
Following PETA Europe's campaign, in which more than 100,000 compassionate members and supporters urged their Members of European Parliament (MEP) to vote for a ban in the E.U. on seal fur products from Canada, the MEPs have voted in favor of seals, recognizing that these "hunts" can never be humane. The ban sends a resounding message to the Canadian government that this bloody massacre must stop once and for all and that the world will not stand by as baby seals are bludgeoned to death in front of their wailing mothers for a product that no one needs.
The world is demanding an end to the slaughter. But the massacre is not over, and seals still need your help.
All eyes are on Canada as it prepares to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. Now is the time to demand that the Canadian government hear the worldwide call to stop this bloody massacre of seals.
With your support, more victories like this one for seals are possible. Please help PETA's groundbreaking campaigns for animals by making a gift today. Any amount you give can help our work to end the bloody seal massacre once and for all.
For all you've already done—and will do—to help with this historic campaign, thank you.
Sincerely,
Ingrid E. Newkirk
President

Dear João,
Today we celebrate an incredible victory!
The European Parliament has just announced a ban on the trade of seal products within the European Union.
This may be the most significant victory in IFAW's 40 year campaign to end Canada's commercial seal hunt...and we couldn't have done it without you.
From Mexico City to Madrid to Moscow, tens of thousands of letters, postcards, and e-mails poured in - making a clear statement that the world is against this brutal hunt.
The European Parliament listened, and now the end of the commercial seal hunt may be inevitable. Already, prices for seal pelts have dropped to half of what they were last year. And with this ban, 7 out of Canada's top 10 export markets are now closed for business.
This is a fantastic win, but we can't rest now. We must make a final push to end this hunt once and for all!
IFAW is shifting all its focus back to where we started this fight four decades ago: For the first time in history, a Canadian senator has proposed a bill to ban the hunt - and now we need to gather as much support for Senator Harb's bill as possible.
If you already contacted your Canadian Embassy, thank you!
If you haven't yet had a chance, please contact your Canadian Embassy today, and demand that they support Senator Harb's bill to ban the seal hunt.
You can make history - by helping make the seal hunt history. Let's put an end to this cruel hunt once and for all.
Please act today - make it the very next thing you do.
Congratulations on this incredible victory, and thanks so much for your support,
Fred O'Regan
IFAW CEO
p.s. IFAW started this fight...and now we're going to finish it.
E os resultados da campanha canadiana também está a dar bons frutos, constituindo-se assim duas frentes - interna e externa - de grande pressão para o govrno do referido país:
Help us end this hunt forever by contacting your Canadian Embassy today.
