Subject: Victory for Seals! E.U. Votes to Ban Seal Fur Products
Dear supporter,
There's been a huge victory for seals! Thanks to the tireless efforts of members and supporters, PETA has scored a major victory for baby seals who have their heads bashed in or are shot for their skins in Canada's annual massacre on ice.
Following PETA Europe's campaign, in which more than 100,000 compassionate members and supporters urged their Members of European Parliament (MEP) to vote for a ban in the E.U. on seal fur products from Canada, the MEPs have voted in favor of seals, recognizing that these "hunts" can never be humane. The ban sends a resounding message to the Canadian government that this bloody massacre must stop once and for all and that the world will not stand by as baby seals are bludgeoned to death in front of their wailing mothers for a product that no one needs.
The world is demanding an end to the slaughter. But the massacre is not over, and seals still need your help.
All eyes are on Canada as it prepares to host the 2010 Winter Olympics. Now is the time to demand that the Canadian government hear the worldwide call to stop this bloody massacre of seals.
Please seize this opportunity to urge Prime Minister Stephen Harper to help stop the slaughter here:

For all you've already done—and will do—to help with this historic campaign, thank you.
Sincerely,

President, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
