Right now, the 27 Member States of the European Union are considering whether or not to support a strong prohibition on seal product trade.
The countries must choose between two proposals: 1) a strong ban that would stop trade in products of cruel commercial seal slaughters, and 2) a deceptive regulation with a gaping loophole that would allow the trade in products of cruelty to continue.
More than 50 European animal protection groups agree: only a strong ban, without loopholes, can stop the suffering.
Please act now. Tell your government to vote for a STRONG ban on seal product trade. Nothing less will do.
