A seal's voice cries: Namibia go to Hell !!

[Guest guest]

~ PLEASE CROSS POST WIDELY...INCLUDING DUTCH & GERMAN AR MAILING LISTS, WEBSITES AND BLOGS ~ What's more morally and ethically obscene than beating, stabbing and shooting seals?--most of them defenseless, nursing infants. Having hordes of paying tourists flock to see the remainder of those same herds, where only hours earlier, they endured the hell of mass annihilation.If those nature-loving, camera-toting tourists were allowed foot access to the beach for a closer encounter, they would discover themselves ankle deep in the blood of the same young seal pups they covet. The bucolic scenes they photograph, would instantaneously reveal themselves as hideous killing fields, concealed beneath the freshly shoveled and carefully manicured sands. Sands covering a daily atrocity hidden from public view.Namibian Prime Minister, Nahas Angula, bestows his blessings on this carnage every single day from July through November, each year. Even though there

is overwhelming evidence that Cape Fur Seals are being systematically driven to extinction by this relentless onslaught. Despite protests from concerned citizens, environmentalists and animal rights groups, this speciescide continues unabated.Prime Minister Angula has stated publicly that he fears the economic repercussions, should Namibia be targeted for a boycott. In order to save the Cape Fur Seal species, the ONLY choice left IS to boycott!!TAKE ACTION!FIRST:Stavos Dimas, EU Commissioner for the Environment, is due to decide any day now, whether to ban Cape Fur seal imports, along with Canadian Harp seal products. Please send an email to Mr. Dimas urging him to permanently BAN the importation of ALL seal products from ALL sealing countries. Please pass this alert on to everyone you know!SECOND:Tell Prime Minister Angula that you, friends, family and peers will be boycotting Namibia by not

booking vacations to his country or buying diamonds [Namibia's #1 economic resource--tourism is #2] until the seal slaughter ends permanently.Please pass this alert on to everyone...including your Dutch, German and European friends which make up the bulk of Namibia's tourists. Stavros Dimas -- EU Commissioner For EnvironmentEMAIL: stavros.dimas@ ec.europa. euBLOG: http://blogs.ec.europa.eu/dimas/green-cities-fit-for-life/ Namibian Prime Minister Nahas AngulaEMAIL: nangulaSAMPLE LETTERS: [Please vary to make them your own]Dear Commissioner Dimas,The innocent lives of those MOST vulnerable to the human failings of ethical and moral erosion, have only your wisdom and character standing between them and extinction. As millions of seals, globally, and on a yearly basis, endure an almost hysterical scapegoating for man's mismanagement of fisheries around our planet, it is up to you to

bring an overriding element of reason and sanity toward ending this massive witch hunt. This objective can only be achieved by banning the importation of ALL seal products. I urge you to make the right decision on behalf of a species which continues to be unfairly targeted, and unmercifully subjected to horrific suffering.Sincerely,NameCountryPrime Minister Angula,You have chosen to turn a deaf ear and blind eye to the suffering and mass annihilation you continue perpetuating on Cape Fur seals. Due to a hysterical and heavy-handed policy of scapegoating seals for Namibia's inability to control its collapsing fishery, you are now responsible for yet another atrocity--driving Namibia's seals to extinction.Until Namibia permanently ends the yearly seal slaughter, I will be boycotting your country. I will be asking friends, family and peers NOT TO PURCHASE DIAMONDS until this shameful, bloody display of human arrogance,

ignorance and morally corrupt behavior finally ends for good.Sincerely,Name Country

Thank you Brennan,

I have sent off the letters and will be forwarding your post to everyone I know. I have also forwarded Francois's (sealalert) newsletter about the pending slaughter. I must say that you are about the only person that writes about it, apart from him. We have to let as many people know as we can.

Thanks again,

Kindest thoughts
