Canadian Seal Cull (EDM611)

Canadian Seal Cull

EDM number 611 in 2003-04, proposed by David Lepper on 11/02/2004.

That this House notes that the number of animals killed during the 2003 Canadian hunt of harp and hooded seals was approximately 300,000, and that a study of the hunt in 2001 by international veterinarians found up to 42 per cent. of seal pups were skinned alive while conscious; welcomes the Minister for Trade and Investment's comment during a debate on 4th November 2003 that the UK Government does not accept the need for any seal cull; further notes the boycott of Canadian tourism organised by Respect for Animals; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to convey its gravest concerns to the Canadian Government over the continuation of this hunt.

This motion has been signed by a total of 168 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
