[4animals] IMPORTANT NOTICE RE SEAL HUNT EVENT

[vaalea]

Next Wednesday and Thursday evenings (Nov 29 and 30), Rebecca Aldworth, Director of Canadian Wildlife Issues for The Humane Society of the United States ("HSUS"), will be in Ottawa.    Many of you know of Rebecca's ongoing courageous efforts to stop the commercial seal hunt.   Since the Canadian media chooses to ignore the cruel facts surrounding the seal hunt, a large video display unit featuring images of the hunt will be shown to the public.   Literature will be distributed and petitions signed. 

Canadians need to be educated about the true facts of the hunt and be informed about the Canadian government's campaign of misinformation. 

Volunteers are desperately needed to help distribute literature and get petitions signed.  The video display unit will be in a downtown location on Wednesday, November 29 and Thursday, November, 30, and will be operated for a few hours each day, as it gets dark outside (from 5 pm to 9 pm or thereabouts). 

We need some volunteers each night to help us hand out literature, get petitions signed, etc.

Please advise if you can help out for any amount of time.   Those who respond will be provided with details on the exact location of the event, which is to take place downtown.

Thank you from the seals.
