> Dear Mrs. R,
> 
> It’s a beautiful and serene location in Eastern Canada, where no humans live, 
> and it's one of the last truly wild places on Earth. This quiet place is the 
> harp seal nursery.
> 
> I was lucky enough to spend a few days there and see the fluffy, white seal 
> pups living peacefully with their mothers. The babies of this remote nursery 
> likely don’t have anything to fear because there is little demand for seal 
> fur in this area. Tragically, the baby seals off Newfoundland, where the 
> government is subsidizing sealers to kill the pups, face an entirely 
> different fate.
> 
> Those pups are only weeks old and have just shed their white coats when 
> sealers move in for the kill, bringing down havoc upon the seals' once safe 
> and pristine home.
> 
> Take a look at our video of the beautiful seal nursery, and then urge 
> Canada’s prime minster to protect these seals by offering the sealers a 
> federal buyout.
> 
> Here’s how it works now: Killing seals is an off-season activity for a small 
> group of commercial fishermen who make most of the income from fisheries such 
> as snow crab during the rest of the year. The buyout would be a fair payment 
> and incentive to the sealers to give up their licenses to kill baby seals, 
> and it would cost taxpayers much less than the amount currently used to prop 
> up the dying sealing industry.
> 
> I have such a hard time knowing many of the baby seals targeted for slaughter 
> have yet to eat their first meal, haven’t taken their first swim, and are 
> completely defenseless. The killing is a heartbreaking sight, especially 
> after witnessing the peaceful, undisturbed nursery.
> 
> The solution to stop this is simple, and you can help us make it happen. 
> Watch our special video to see how beautiful the harp seal nursery is right 
> now, and then help us fight to end the seal hunt.

> Sincerely,
