WHY I KNOW Boycotting EASTERN Canada can STOP The Seal Slaughter!

March 28, 2008

Dear Seal Defenders:Last year an extremely clever anti-sealing campaign was launched. It targeted SMALL businesses in Eastern Canadian Sealing Towns, for boycotts. The idea was to concentrate on those businesses MOST ECONOMICALLY VULNERABLE during TOURISM season. [Restaurants, B & B's, motels, car, boat and bike rentals, sightseeing companies, etc.] Within DAYS of being notified of the boycott via email, local [sealer town] merchants were PANICKING! They promptly called the media to discuss worries over losing their livelihoods. These small businesses were receiving boycott emails from AROUND THE WORLD!!It quickly became obvious that a sustained [all-inclusive--not just seafood] boycott, concentrating ONLY ON EASTERN CANADA, was the KEY to persuading sealing provinces to denounce the seal 'hunt' once and for all!The goal was to convince individual merchants NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN SEALING [but who support pro-sealing views] that if

sealing continued, these small businesses would lose their livelihoods. It would be up to THEM to persuade their sealer friends and relatives that a continued 'hunt' would mean economic disaster for them ALL.NOTE:Clannish and stubborn, Canadian sealers will NEVER listen to outsiders; it will take their OWN neighbors and friends who are being penalized economically due to the 'hunt', to convince them to put down their clubs and rifles for good.This brilliant strategy was actually WORKING just as planned! Unfortunately, the campaign's momentum was cut short due to the all-too-familiar infighting which grips so many promising AR campaigns. YOU CAN HELP CONTINUE THE CAMPAIGN WHERE THEY LEFT OFF!!Here's How!!~~ PLEASE NOTIFY THE SEAL-KILLING DFO THAT YOU / FRIENDS / FAMILY AND OTHERS WILL BE BOYCOTTING EASTERN CANADA UNTIL SEALING IS PERMANENTLY ENDED AND OUTLAWED IN THE

REGION! ~~Get everyone you know INVOLVED in emailing, too! [Eastern Canada must hear from hundreds of thousands of us to make the campaign a success!] Go here and leave your comments:DFO CONTACT PAGE:http://www.fishaq.gov.nl.ca/contact/ SAMPLE LETTERSirs:While the DFO continues to state that sealing revenues bring 50 million + to Eastern Canada; the economic losses resulting from a long-term boycott of Canada's East Coast may will be in the BILLIONS, in the not-too-distant future. Most educated individuals understand that the sealing industry survives by subsidies--carried on the taxpaying backs of the many, for the benefit of the very few. I will not be visiting Eastern Canada until sealing has ended and is permanently OUTLAWED. In fact, I refuse to buy ANY goods/services from your region, including those from the internet.I'll be spreading the word far and wide, to friends, family, business associates,

religious and civic groups and anyone else who will listen; imploring them to boycott Eastern Canada until the knuckle-dragging brutality of this obscene orgy of death is history. SincerelyThe concept of 'animal rights' values the simple premise that ALL living creatures have a "right" to be allowed to live their lives without victimization--free from brutality. It is a right that EVERY being strives for.~Brennan Browne~"Humanely" slaughtered 'meat', is an obscene lie invented and perpetuated by people who are too lazy, selfish and cruel to change their dietary habits. Forcibly denying a creature its right to life, love and companionship can NEVER be humane.~Brennan Browne~
