The International Day of Action Against Canadian Seal Slaughter is observed on March 15 each year, where Canadians and concerned citizens globally protest against the killing of young seals. This day highlights the brutality of the commercial seal hunt, which has seen new regulations allowing for increased slaughter, despite public opposition. The seals are primarily killed for their fur, but the demand for sealskins has diminished due to a declining fur market. Additionally, seals are sometimes killed for their fat, used in health supplements and fuel, although alternatives are now available. The day serves as a platform to raise awareness about the plight of baby seals and the inhumanity of the slaughter. The event aims to appeal to the public and advocate for the cessation of these practices.
