Canadian Seal Hunt

EDM number 1301 in 2007-08, proposed by Jim Hood on 01/04/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Animal welfare, Animals, North America and Wildlife.

That this House condemns the cruelty of the Canadian seal hunt; notes that over 1.5 million seal pups have been bludgeoned or shot to death since 2003; notes with concern that the hunt is subsidised and protected by the Canadian government; further notes that regulations to curb the suffering of these creatures are unenforceable; embraces the UK and EU ban on imports of harp and hooded seal products; and urges the Government to take a stand against senseless violence against seal pups.

This motion has been signed by a total of 89 MPs.
