so like Shoot ”em with a camera not a Gun dude!
We are in Glasgow today! Tour has been going awesome. We’ve been ragin with The Tuts and have had girl gang stage invasions which has made me happier than ever!! I’ve seen so many girls that look like they are already in a girl band and when I ask them they’re like “we wanna be in one!!”. Tryin to see how many girl bands we can start around the UK on this tour. I’ll post a tour blog soon.
Anyway I just got super upset the other morning because I was in the hotel room doing crafts for pledge and I found this link about baby seals in Canada being killed and it is so fucked up!! Like 98% of them are younger than 3 months old and they are killed so brutally. Like beat, bludgeoned and shot, they get so freaked out and it is so sad. There is actually less demand than ever for seal fur in 2013 yet the Canadian government won’t stop the slaughter, they also try and cover up the fact that it is brutal. Seal slaughter products have actually been banned in a lot of countries so a lot of the seal fur is just stock piled. I really wanna get involved in trying to raise awareness about this as it is happening right now, we’re in the middle of Seal Slaughter Season. And the sealers are commercial fishermen, killing seals only makes up about 5% of their income. It just seems totally pointless and ridiculous and is like this barbaric trade for no reason.
If you can bear to watch it, you can see that it really is brutal how they kill them, just be warned that it is upsetting if you’re gonna watch it. This video shows how they are killed.
We need to support the “Buyout option”
Basically
“the government must arrange a buyout whereby the sealers hand in their sealing licences, are compensated and then viable economic alternatives supported in those areas such as eco-tourism. Let’s shoot seals with a camera not a gun”
If you just fill in your name and info here it is raising awareness that more people don’t want this to happen. The statistics show that most people in Canada don’t support the seal slaughter. It’s bloody ridiculous.

So disgusting. Any dent of change we can make will be well worth it!

SEALS ARE LYFE <3
but their little faces :'(
where do you fill in your name and info??? xox
It really is disgusting, it’s great to see you trying to raise some awareness.
And to the girls who want to be in a band – if there’s no one in your area right now, just get creative and start making music yourself until something comes up! It’s fun, you’ll get to practice your song-writing skills and maybe even come up with something awesome 🙂
Actually Wikipedia says seals are commercially hunted at the age of 12–14 days. Whatever the age, it’s totally wrong.
This breaks my heart, we live in a supposedly civilised world so why we allow this to happen is beyond me, it’s also covered as a part in this eye opening , award winning film called earthlings,

much respect for anyone who takes the time to watch it. If there is anything we can do to stop this cruelty I’m all for it. These baby seals haven’t even had a chance at life yet, why we believe we have the right simply because we have the power is the same mentality behind the worst crimes humans have historically ever comitted. Time for it to end.
I am feeling so sad and upset about this.. I just can’t believe but yes, is really happening and we need to try.. even stop it now!! Poor babies, they’re so cute and innocent 🙁
This is terrible! they’re so cute 🙁 We have to stop it, I’ll sign <3333
Oooh Poor baby seals. As sad as it is, there ARE people like that in the world who’d do that and worse, all we can do is help the one’s we can and just hope for less and less poachers
Humans are more savage than animals. They do the same thing to other beautiful animals on Chinese fur farms. It’s horrific. Makes me ashamed I’m part of the same species. :'(
savage
Yeah.
so lovely! Thank you for sharing it!
