Pamela Anderson has asked Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for his help in ending the annual seal hunt in her home country of Canada.

Putin has already seen Russia end killing baby seals in their hunt and Anderson is hoping he will extend a hand in ending the Canadian one as well.

“My friends at PETA and I were pleased to see a recent slideshow spotlighting your fondness for animals. Since you’ve already banned the slaughter of baby seals in Russia, I’m writing to ask that you also ban seal-pelt imports from my native Canada, where almost all seals who are killed are three months of age or younger.”

A lot of talk goes on about Canada’s annual seal hunt, but did you know that Russia has one too?

And if Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has anything to do with it, the “bloody industry,” as he called it, will end soon.

Raise the roof for Russia!

“It is clear that [our hunt] should have been banned a long time ago,” Mr. Putin said, according to a statement distributed yesterday by the embassy in Ottawa.

Recently, Russia has stopped the killing of baby seals, or whitecoats. Now it’s looking to stop the killing of all seals, although a timeframe for this has not yet been established.

Proponents of seal hunts say it’s necessary to control the population. But Russia’s seal population has been declining since 1928. Not to mention the cruelness of the act, which involves clubbing a seal on its head repeatedly. 

Canadian seal pelts are marketed to Russia, but no word on whether these will be banned as well. Some sources say that Russia is the #1 country behind China for imported seal pelt products.

The European Union is currently calling to ban the shipment of seal products across member countries.
