Canadian Commercial Seal Hunt

EDM number 2147 in 2006-07, proposed by Judy Mallaber on 17/10/2007.

That this House notes that the UK Government has condemned the Canadian commercial seal hunt; believes that the hunt is cruel and unnecessary; resasserts the democratic right of independent observers from animal welfare groups to film the hunt in the interests of public scrutiny; is concerned that the Canadian government is attempting to obstruct and hinder future observation through proposed amendments to the law; is further concerned that the Canadian authorities have arrested and put on trial five observers of the 2006 hunt, including a UK citizen, Mark Glover, from Respect for Animals; and calls on the the UK Government to register its protest over Canada's conduct in this matter.

This motion has been signed by a total of 92 MPs.
