This is the south african petition yes its happening there as well!!

This slaughter has been called the cruelest in the world as nursing pups are ripped from their mothers, killed while mother's milk spill from
their noses and mouths.

In July 2006, just prior to the start of the 2006
cull, the Namibian Ministry of Fisheries stated the
seal population was
still recovering from the 1994 mass die-off, and was
at 27% below pre-1993 levels. During the 2006 cull,
concessionaires often had to stop and bury up to 900
dead seals a day. The Ministry launched an
investigation in to the cause of this mass
die-off and found the animals were not dying of
disease, but the deaths were caused by starvation. The
Ministry also admitted the seal pups of the Wolf/Atlas Bay colony
have been starving so badly that their growth have
dropped to less than 10% (from 30g/day to just
2g/day). It also found that 48% and 51% of the pups
were below the surviving threshold of 11kg. The
Ministry's own researchers concluded that the majority
of pups wouldn't survive beyond post weaning age.

Despite all this and the fact that each year
concessionaires are unable to fill these quotas(2006's
quota was 80 000 pups and 7000 - 800 bulls were killed
for their genitalia), Namibia keeps increasing the
quotas for seals to be killed. The Cape Fur Seal population has declined a whopping 50% in the last
decade.

There is a huge difference between a cull and a
harvest. A harvest is driven by an economic principle,
whereas a cull is
used as a method of population control. Namibia calls
the killing of these animals a cull and supports
openly "sustainable use" of the Cape Fur Seal.

This makes little to no sense. If sealers can't meet
their quotas, if environmental factors such as mass
starvation,
global warming, etc are keeping seal populations in
check, and if there is no real viable economic income
in this cull, why is it that Namibia is still going
ahead with this in 2007?

Seal Alert and its global supporters therefore
respectfully request the Namibian Ministry to stop
this slaughter with immediate effect.

Please put your name and/or email address on the list below to help Seal alert tell the Namibian authorities what we think of their actions and stop the slaughter.

Spread the word
Would really appreciate anyone signing this one too. thanks xxx:kisshands:
