Members of the animal rights group PETA will be holding an anti-sealing demonstration in uptown Saint John tomorrow. Demonstrators will be holding signs and showing footage of Canada’s annual seal hunt at an intersection near Market Square over the noon-hour. Spokesperson, Colleen Higgins tells CHSJ news, hundreds of thousands of harp seals are slaughtered on the ice floes off Newfoundland and Labrador every year.
PETA’s anti-sealing campaign will continue across Canada until the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.
