Our goal is to collect 300,000 signatures in order that this request for a plebiscite will show the Canadian Government that the majority of the citizens of Canada are against the annual seal hunt. We encourage you to contact your member of parliament and ask if he/she will support this action.

If we, the citizens of Canada, all pull together, we have a very good chance of having this annual horror stopped. We thank you in advance for your dedication to this petition.
