User Video - Just a few short weeks before Canadian sealers gear up to kill hundreds of thousands of baby seals, Heather and Paul McCartney journeyed to the seal nurseries on the ice floes of the North Atlantic to focus international attention on the grim fate awaiting these newborn animals. Appalled by the Canadian government�s insistence on supporting the cruel commercial hunt for seal skins, the McCartneys are calling on newly elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper to end the annual hunt forever.www.protectseals.org

My son and I watched the baby seals video on Google a couple of days ago... Both of us were heart broken and angered to see these precious baby seals killed in this manner...or in any manner...is wrong! I asked my older daughter and a girlfriend to view the video also and both their responses were that they couldn't handle seeing something that sad. My comment to both of them was that if we don't pay attention to the sad things in this world, it will just keep happening. A thought to this horrible act that is being inflicted upon these baby seals is... Could we form a foundation to save them, such as "The Free Willy Foundation"?. The Free Willy Foundation is very effective in helping the whales and dolphins. You're able to adopt a whale or dolphin, they send you a certificate of your adoption, after you send a donation. I did this for each of my children on their birthdays one year. They were so excited to know that they had a dolphin out there somewhere. My son is 15 now and he knows the value of that birthday gift even more so today. We both talked about the possibility of hopefully being able to see a foundation like this being formed to help these baby seals as well. You know it touches my heart, to have my son look at me and say "Mom, what can we do to help these baby seals right now?". Right now, are the key words. This needs to be stopped right now!!! Before another year of seal slaughter happens. If it's all about the financial gain to whom ever gains from this. Pay them the price they would loose, to turn these seal hunters away. I wish I could afford to adopt them all... but I can't. But WE as a WORLD can! And in saying that...Please let me know what my son and I can do in donating our time in helping this cause to save the seals. We live in a world of sad events, that makes us feel helpless at times... But this doesn't have to be one of them... We can help these seals! And then there will be one less sad event in this world. And that's a start! Best
