Canada tries the "See no evil ..." approach.

From a HSUS email sent out today >>>

Just before dawn this morning, the annual hunt for baby seals began in Canada.

Over the next few weeks, 275,000 harp seals will be brutally clubbed or shot for their fur. Incredibly, though,
many people believe that Canada ended this hunt in the 1980s. But it's still happening, right now.
That's why the sealers don't want us here -- with our cameras rolling.

For four years, The Humane Society of the United States' ProtectSeals team has stood its ground
as Canada's extraordinary harp seal nurseries are transformed each spring into bloody killing fields.
The sealers have rammed our cars, smashed our boats, and brandished the very same clubs that
they use to kill baby seals -- all in a vain attempt to intimidate us.

Then yesterday, Canada’s government took an unprecedented step:
It refused to issue hunt observation permits to our team -- and to journalists -
- in time for us to document the slaughter this morning. This means that sealers,
if they have reached the seals by now, are killing baby seals without witnesses.
Which is exactly what they want.
