Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ship Farley Mowat

has just completed the campaign to oppose the horrific

slaughter of seal pups in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

 

The massacre of seals now moves to the Newfoundland

Front where some 320 boats and thousands of sealers

prepare for the major mass slaughter of seals in the

open seas off the Newfoundland coast.

 

We must continue. We need to carry our humane

opposition to this evil slaughter into the heart of

darkness, into the midst of the largest seal killing

fleet ever assembled. How can we abandon these seal

pups now that we have come so far?

 

We are positioned only two days sailing from the

slaughter that is scheduled to open on April 12th.

 

Our obstacles are immense. The motivation to destroy

life in our oceans is fueled by material greed. It is

always easy to recruit crew for money. We need to

recruit a crew motivated by a passionate compassion.

We need people who burn inside with a rage against

this injustice. We need such people on our ship and in

the ranks of our supporters.

 

We have only a week to organize what is needed to

reach the Labrador Front.

 

We need crew. We need people with engineering and

electronic experience. We need another cook. We need

film makers and photographers.

 

We need fuel – our largest expense for all our

campaigns. We need a minimum of 40 extra tons for

this leg of our campaign. One ton of fuel costs

around $500, so we need about $20,000 for fuel costs.

 

We need provisions – vegetarian, of course. In total

about $2,000 worth of supplies.

 

If 44 people or more people pledged a gift of $500 to

our Seal Campaign we would be assured of having

sufficient resources for this added leg of our

campaign – where no one has been since Sea Shepherd

last confronted the sealers there in 1983.

 

With your support we will get to the ice floes off the

Labrador Front and continue with our campaign against

cruelty and ecological insanity.

 

These seals and the eco-system in which they live are

worth fighting for. We need your help in this

endeavor.
