Serbian Animals Voice (SAV)

We are only a few hours away from learning the outcome of one of the greatest efforts the ProtectSeals team — together with you — has ever undertaken. And there is still time to help.

This campaign has been a marathon — a fight of more than a decade now, for me — and tomorrow’s vote on a proposed European Union seal product trade ban could mark the beginning of the end of this senseless slaughter. If this proposal is passed, we will be one step closer to a future where baby seals are safe from being clubbed, shot, and skinned before they’ve even taken their first swim.

But even now, we cannot stop. We must make every minute count in the leadup to this vote.

I need your help to ensure that every elected representative walks into tomorrow’s meeting with one focus: passing a strong ban that will stop the cruelty and save the seals. Please, whether this is your first action on behalf of seals or your tenth, stand with us one more time and do the following right now:

1) Sign our petition, and ask everyone you know to sign, too. Remember, the winner of our contest to recruit petition-signers will join me in Canada next spring to visit the seal pups!

2) Write to your Members of the European Parliament. Make it clear that their constituents are counting on them!

3) Send a message to your Environment Minister. Preserving wildlife — including seals — is their responsibility!

I have been carrying this sadness — a burden you have shared with me — for such a very long time. Tomorrow, finally, I hope to rejoice.

Thank you for your continuing support and belief in what we are doing. None of this would be possible without you.

With hope in my heart,

Rebecca Aldworth
