Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Aussie Company Supports Cruel Seal Cull Take Action | Spread the Word | Support the Campaign The annual Namibian seal cull is regarded as the cruellest in the world. The sheer terror of the slaughter can cause pups to vomit their mother's milk in fear. Once hit several times with a wooden club, and assumed dead, they are cut with a knife to 'bleed out' — sometimes whilst conscious, before being skinned. Please help pressure the Australian company that has been financially supporting this annual slaughter. The world's largest and cruellest slaughter of seals is about to commence on 1st July in Namibia. Australian-based fur and skins company, Hatem Yavuz, is directly implicated in this annual brutal slaughter. Hatem Yavuz alone bought all of the dead seal pup skins from last year's cull in order to make fur coats. This year, the highest quota ever — 91,000 cape fur seals — are set to be killed. Most pups will be so young that they are still being nursed by their mothers. The terrified pups will be rounded up, separated from their mothers and brutally clubbed to death. The market for Namibian Cape Fur Seal skins has collapsed over recent years due to lack of demand and import bans in the European Union, the United States, Mexico and South Africa because of the cruelty involved in the se aling methods. As of 2008, there was only one company left buying seal skins from Namibia — Hatem Yavuz. An international campaign to expose and pressure Hatem Yavuz has been started by Seal Alert-South Africa. Please add your voice and express your outrage to Hatem Yavuz for their culpability in animal cruelty, and call on them to commit to never again buying Namibian Cape Fur Seal skins.
