Paul McCartney Signs Petition To Ban Trading Of Seal Goods
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 25th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Male Musicians, Male Singers.
Paul McCartney is the latest celebrity to add his name the growing list on the petition urging members of European Parliament to make the trading of goods made from seals illegal.
“The fate of millions of seal pups is in the hands of elected members of the European Parliament,” McCartney said in a statement.
“In the next few weeks they will have a historic opportunity to stop the cruel trade in seal products throughout the European Union.”
Voting on the complete ban takes place next week. Such a ban would deter hunters from clubbing seals, wishing to gain profits from their coats and meat.

I will Ban music made by Paul McCartney after his stupid campain against Seal Hunting. Seal Hunting is essential to keep the number of Seals on a sustainable level. One Seal eat about 2 kg fish every day. The growing amount of people in the world needs more and more food every day…and 2 kg of fish eaten by Seal mean 2 kg less to be eaten by people.
