Boycott Canadian Seafood?

The U.S. Humane Society wants consumers to boycott Canadian seafood products in protest of the annual seal hunt, which could lead to the killing of 300,000 seals this year.

According to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the hunt is critical to the economy of Newfoundland and Labrador and the only source of income for many aboriginal people. But animal rights activists say the hunt is needlessly cruel.
