CANADIAN HARP SEAL SLAUGHTER
| "Mr. Speaker, I would like to see the six million, or whatever number is out there, killed
or sold, or destroyed or burned. I do not care what happens to them. The fact is that the
markets are not there to sell more seals. What they (the fishermen) wanted was to have the right
to go out and kill the seals. They have that right, and the more they kill the better I will
love it."- John Efford |

"We need to keep reminding Mr. Efford that people are opposed to the slaughter of seals.
E-mail him and e-mail him often to protest his contemptible attitude towards the harp seals. This man is an arrogant politician and I have had quite a few debates with him over the years in the media. We are not going to change his attitude but we certainly can annoy him."
