One victory down, many more to go.
The European Parliament voted to ban the import of seal products, including coats and even some omega-3 pills.
According to news.yahoo.com:
“The EU ban will apply to all products and processed goods derived from seals, including their skins — which are used to make fur coats, bags and adorn clothing — as well as meat, oil blubber, organs and seal oil, which is used in some omega-3 pills.”
The ban is an effort to pressure Canada to end its annual seal hunt.
Many notable celebrities have voiced their concerns over Canada’s Seal Hunt, including Pamela Anderson, Paul McCartney, Ryan Reynolds, Brigitte Bardot, and Bryan Adams.
