SKINNING OF CONSCIOUS SEAL PUPS
That this House notes that the number of animals killed during the 2002 Canadian hunt of harp and hooded seals exceeded 300,000, and a recent study by international veterinarians found up to 42 per cent. of seal pups were skinned alive while fully conscious; is concerned that the Canadian government is now even considering an increase of the existing quota; and calls upn Her Majesty's Government to convey its gravest concerns to the Canadian government over the continuation of this hunt.
