Pamela Anderson protests Canada seal hunt.
April, 1 2006
Pamela Anderson's has added her name to the growing list of
celebrities speaking out against Canada's annual seal hunt, which just
got underway.
She asked for a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to discuss
the issue.
"As a proud Canadian who frequently travels abroad, I am alarmed that
people are starting to see Canada as a country more beholden to a pack
of greedy hunters and to the sealskin 'fashion' whims of a few countries
than to the massive international outcry against the hunt," said in
a letter faxed to Harper's office late Monday.
"One of the biggest problems facing the U.S. government is appearing
aloof about its own hostile behavior; I'd hate to see that happen north
of the border too," she said.
Pamela said she's collected thousands of signatures via an online
PETA petition protesting the annual hunt, which opened last Saturday
in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The regulated hunt begins among the
aboriginal Inuits in the Arctic North in November and will move to
Newfoundland and Labrador in April.
