The Bloodshed Has Begun

THE massacre of seals in Namibia has started and will take place every day for over four months…

THE barbaric slaughter of Cape fur seals in Namibia is currently underway and, over the next four months, thousands of seals living in Cape Cross and Atlas Bay will be brutally killed for their fur, oil and genitals.

Cape Cross is a tourism resort and the largest Cape fur seal colony in Namibia. From July until mid-November, this scenic area becomes a bloody killing field. Harp seals are not the only pinniped victims of mass slaughter. Cape fur seals are also killed in so-called ‘seal reserves’ (beach colonies where pups are born and nursed for up to a year).

These pups are forcibly separated from their mothers, corralled in an area of the reserve, and then clubbed and stabbed to death.
