> Tell Gucci to Stop Clubbing Baby Seals

> http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/gucci seals
> After hearing from supporters in Russia who have seen Gucci boots made
> from seal fur for sale in that country, PETA is urging the Italian
> fashion house to banish all fur from its collections. By selling seal
> fur, Gucci is responsible for the horrors of the Canadian seal hunt
> that have repeatedly been documented on video.
>
> Despite a public outcry across the globe, hunters in Canada massacre
> hundreds of thousands of seals every year in order to sell their skins
> and rake in profits. Sealers bludgeon seals with clubs and hakapiks
> (clubs with a metal hook on the end), drag conscious seals across ice
> floes with boat hooks, and toss dead and dying animals into heaps,
> leaving their carcasses to rot because there is no market for their
> meat. Seals are also shot, but bludgeoning is preferred because pelt
> buyers deduct money for each bullet hole in a seals skin.
>
> Please let Gucci know that whether it comes from clubbing baby seals,
> electrocuting minks on fur farms, or crushing lynxes legs in steel
> traps, every fur item that Gucci sells represents unimaginable
> suffering.
