Lush Cosmetics Petitions To End Canadian Seal Hunt

The Canadian Seal Hunt is never a pleasant topic to cover and it’s expected that the current hunt this year will kill over 300,000 seals.
Lush Cosmetics, a company adored by several celebs, such as Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, and Jude Law, offers cruelty-free cosmetics to animal lovers and is now extending its business principles in an effort to curb the seal hunt.
From the Lush website:
“We believe that the consumer has the ability to make powerful choices everyday and this is why we are reaching out to you, our customer, to help end the Canadian Commercial Seal Hunt. Most of you shop with LUSH not only because we make wonderful handmade products for your bath, hair and body but also because of who we are and what we believe in. We believe in making products by hand, using fresh ingredients, not testing on animals, supporting our communities and protecting the planet.”
“Governments around the globe, including the US, have spoken out against Canada’s seal hunt. The seal hunt is essentially government sanctioned cruelty to animals. Recent polls show that nearly 69% of Canadians and nearly 80% of Americans are opposed to the seal hunt. Yet, the government continues to spend millions of Canadian taxpayers dollars to help support it.”
Lush has drafted an online petition that will be sent from Lush’s headquarters to the Prime Minster of Canada. So far, over 9,000 signatures have been collected!

This is so sad. I’ve been on websites where even meat eaters are like, “Enough. This is overboard.” after they’ve viewed the videos of how these animals are beaten. I hope this is banned soon.

Here’s what I don’t get. If it’s necessary to kill these animals (which it probably isn’t) for whatever reason, why kill them in such a brutal manner? Why not just shoot them with a single bullet and end their life quickly? In any other case, this would be considered animal cruelty to beat something to death like this.
If anyone know why it’s the tradition to club versus shoot, please let me know.

There is no excuse to kill animals. It’s never necessary. People that are clubbing seals are fat asses that won’t get a real job because their heartless muderers!
Meat eaters are even saying enough is enough?! That makes no sense since they are paying people to torture animals! Man people are dumb.
