Boycott Canadian Seafood<\/h1>\n

Click here to Sign<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
The most important Thing you can do to help end the Seal Hunt is to
\nboycott all Seafood Products from Canada until the commercial Seal Hunt
\nends forever.<\/div>\n
Residents of the United States and the European Union can look for
\nthe Country of origin Label (COOL) at their Grocery Store or Seafood
\nRetailer to identify all Seafood Products from Canada.<\/div>\n
Residents of Canada who purchase Fish at the Retail level will have
\nto ask the Seafood Manager or Retailer to identify which Products come
\nform Canada. Canada has no Country or Origin Laebeling Regulations.<\/div>\n
The Red Lobster restaurant chain is the world’s largest purchaser of
\nCanadian seafood and, in particular, seafood sold by Canadian sealers.
\nFor this reason, organizations are doing all they can to convince Red
\nLobster to help end the Canadian commercial seal hunt by boycotting
\nCanadian seafood. So far, Red Lobster has refused to do so.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Seafood from Atlantic Canada<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
snow crab
scallops
mackerel
turbot lobster
mussels
herring
sardines cold-water shrimp
cod
prawns
flatfishes<\/div>\n
These can be dried, salted, smoked, canned, fresh or frozen. They are
\n sold in grocery stores where they SHOULD (according to US law) be
\nlabeled as coming from Canada. They are also sold in restaurants and
\ncafeterias.<\/div>\n
So, if you eat seafood at restaurants or cafeterias, be sure to ask where it’s from… and BOYCOTT CANADIAN!<\/b><\/div>\n
One of the major points we’d like to emphasize in regards to this
\nboycott is the importance for ANYBODY INVOLVED IN OPPOSING the annual
\nseal killing to realize how closely tied the fish and seafood industry
\nis to the seal product industry. This is precisely the reason why a
\ntargeted boycott for seafood can be effective!<\/div>\n
Some major brands and companies to boycott are:<\/b><\/div>\n
Acadian, Atlantic Pearl, Bay Shore, Blue Royal, Breakwater,
\nBrunswick, Cape Cod, Canadian Cove, Century Seafoods, Classic (from
\nBeothic), Clearwater, Deep Sea, Doyle, Fisherman’s Finest, Fishery
\nProducts International (FPI), Fogo Island, Harbour View, Highliner
\nFoods, Island Pride, Luxury (from Beothic), Northland, Notre Dame
\nSeafoods, Ocean Choice, Ocean Elite, Ocean Leader, Ocean Queen, Ocean
\nSelect, Oram’s Choice, Quinland, Quin-Sea, Sea Best (from Beaver Street
\nCo.), Seafreez, Sea Fresh, St. Paul’s, World Catch, and, lastly, Violet
\nbrand<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Information on specific companies involved:<\/b><\/div>\n
Not only are many fishermen also sealers, but one of the largest seal processors, Atlantic Marine Products<\/b>, is owned by the Barry Group<\/b>,
\n the largest seafood processor and exporter in Newfoundland. The Barry
\nGroup sells mostly cold-water shrimp, lobsters, snow crabs, herring, and
\n mackerel. Two of their biggest customers are Red Lobster and Long John
\nSilvers.<\/div>\n
Another large fish processor is Independent Fish Harvesters, Inc<\/b>.,
\n owned by a group of fishermen. This company, located in Brigus, sells
\nfrozen cooked snow crabs mostly to the Carolinas, Florida, and the West
\nCoast of the U.S. They sell to such distributors as Beaver Street<\/b> (Jacksonville, FL), which markets snow crabs under the label “Sea Best<\/b>” and World Catch<\/b>
\n (Seattle, WA), which sells snow crabs in 2 lb. boxes. They also sell to
\n grocers which sell them under their own store brands. Sometimes they
\nalso sell to Singleton<\/b>, a subsidiary of ConAgra based in Florida.<\/div>\n
Another large seafood processor is Fishery Products International<\/b>. They sell cooked, frozen cold-water shrimp, sometimes breaded. They are sold frozen in 1, 2, or 5 lb. bags and labeled FPI<\/b>. In addition to exporting to the U.S., they sell these shrimp in the U.K. at such stores as Marks<\/b> and Spence<\/b>.<\/div>\n
Another company called Notre Dame Seafoods, Inc<\/b>.,
\nlocated in Twillingate (tel. 709-884-1260) sells cold-water shrimp to a
\ndistributor with offices in Los Angeles and Seattle, Washington. They
\nintend to increase distribution to the U.S. next year. Check for Notre Dame Seafoods<\/b> or NDS<\/b> on shrimp packages.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nutritional Supplements<\/b><\/div>\n
The following products are made from murdered baby seals:<\/b><\/div>\n
Terra Nova, Canomega, and Omegavite<\/b><\/div>\n
These are all omega-3 fatty acid capsules . . .<\/div>\n
Although these particular seal products are ILLEGAL in the USA, international seal protectors should be sure to AVOID them.<\/div>\n
And, we bet you guessed we were going to tell you this:<\/div>\n
There are many excellent ALTERNATIVES to baby seal oil as a nutritional supplement. <\/b>Here are 2 ideas:<\/b><\/div>\n
Flax seed oil<\/b>, which is sold in capsule form and a
\nliquid that can be added directly to food (sold in natural food stores,
\nthe natural food sections of major groceries, and in the pharmacy area
\nof WalMart). Hemp seed oil<\/b>, with a nutty flavor, sold
\nin liquid form. This is harder to find but is available on the internet.
\n Also available are packages of ground hemp seeds and various products
\nmade from hemp seeds. This may come as a disappointment to some, but you
\n can’t get high from hemp seeds :}<\/div>\n
Seal Pelts<\/b><\/div>\n
Seal pelts are ILLEGAL in the US, but seal loving Americans should certainly boycott fashion houses that sell them including:<\/b><\/div>\n
Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Birger Christensen, New Vogue, and Vogue Furriers<\/b><\/div>\n
Besides participating in the boycott yourself, you can help by
\nwriting letters to these companies protesting their use of seal pelts.<\/div>\n
The Odette Leblanc Collection<\/b>: They say the
\nfollowing about their products: “Composed of a complete line of very
\nunique seal fur products.. Ranging from small accessories to full length
\n coats, you will surely find the ideally suited item you’ve been looking
\n for or even been dreaming about owning!”

4) Don’t Visit Canada! <\/b><\/div>\n
Write a letter to the government agencies that oversee tourism in
\nCanada and let them know that you will cancel your travel plans or
\nrefrain from making any vacation or business plans to visit their
\nprovince. Tell them that you will withhold your travel dollars until
\nCanada permanently ends the seal slaughter. Although the major focus of
\nthe boycott is on the seafood industry, the more financial impact that
\ncan be brought to bear upon Canada, the better.<\/div>\n
