<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier this morning I vented on some racist fool for her post in a Facebook animal rights group. She had posted a news item about a typhoon slamming into China. Her comment? "Karma for murdering and eating dogs and cats."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically, this thoughtless bitch was implying that she could not wait for a hurricane to devastate the coast of Florida. Why's that?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well let's start with the USDA stats of animals MURDERED in the USA for the year 2008</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cattle: 35,507,500</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pigs: 116,558,900</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chickens: 9,075,261,000</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Layer hens: 69,683,000</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Broiler chickens: 9,005,578,000</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Turkeys: 271,245,000</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But she wants to point fingers at the Chinese before acknowledging the roast chicken she made the week before. (yes, I scrolled through her posts to prove her hypocrisy)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why is it that Westerners are opposed to this...</div>

What pisses me off is not so much the condemnation of eating dog meat, it is the sanctimonious, xenophobic attacks on Asians, millions of whom are horrified at the prospect of eating dog or cat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To increase my level of annoyance further, it is the ignorance of these people who fail to do any research before posting their vitriol on public platforms. Nothing is ever mentioned about Canada. Not a word gets said about Australia. No death threats for New Zealand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Indeed! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Australia it is legal to eat dogs and cats in all States and Territories except South Australia. In Canada it is legal to sell and serve dog meat, providing that it must be killed and gutted in front of federal inspectors. Dog meat is rarely eaten in New Zealand but has been said to be becoming more popular as it is not illegal as long as the dog is humanely killed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Hong Kong, home to 7.3 million Chinese, the Dogs and Cats Ordinance was introduced by the British Hong Kong Government on 6 January 1950. It prohibits the slaughter of any dog or cat for use as food, whether for mankind or otherwise, on pain of fine and imprisonment. Four local men were sentenced to 30 days imprisonment in December 2006 for having slaughtered two dogs. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To set the record straight, not all provinces in China eat dog meat. Chinese activists regularly intercept trucks carrying dogs and they face persecution from corrupt officials for doing so. </div>

Facebook friends of mine, Chinese people who speak fluent Cantonese and excellent English, sacrifice their social lives to educate others about animal welfare. They stage protests against the fur industry. They demonstrate against captive dolphins. They condemn animal circuses. </div>

Namibia fuels the illegal trade in animal body parts for fake medicines. Seal penis and genitals are marketed as sex tonics that give men increased stamina and potency. There is not one shred of evidence to support this lie and by promoting seal penis as an aphrodisiac, Namibia is as guilty of fraud as those who claim medicinal benefits from rhino horn</div>

For many years I always thought lawyers (generally speaking) were the most unethical of all the professions, but have come to realise that I was wrong. No, its not the shysters and the ambulance chasers. It's the doctors. The quacks and the pharmaceutical companies they rely on. Oncologists in particular.</div>

Before I get into it, let me first begin by saying this post is not an attempt to vilify the medical team who treated my late father. Neither am I seeking vengeance or trying to assign blame on anyone. On the contrary, I am very grateful for them, the support of friends, family and even strangers during these last two very difficult months. So let me explain why I now find myself thinking this way.</div>

Modern medicine, as we know it today, has made some remarkable strides with the advances in technology. We can isolate strands of dna, we can clone, we can do biopsies and can isolate and pinpoint the most microscopic viruses and bacteria. There are a number of diseases that are now curable that were not in the past. What was once considered something that everyone would have to deal with, but now they do not. One such example would be the chicken pox vaccine. It was once considered you had to get to develop an immunity, and now you can get a shot and avoid it altogether. Other examples are diphtheria, TB and malaria that were once untreatable, but are now curable. Doctors can now days cure most anything. But they don't or they would rather not. And here I am going to use cancer as an example because this is what I have been dealing with in my fathers last days. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

Cancer, I believe, is a curable disease. I believe its treatment is extremely cost effective and simple. And I believe this cure is being supressed by the big pharmaceutical companies. The reason is the same as why big oil does not want us to drive cars that use an alternative to fossil fuels. Money. Cancer treatment is about making money. It is a 120 billion dollar a year industry in the United States alone, and estimated to be a 600 billion dollar a year industry worldwide.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

The system is set up in such a way so as not to cure the patient but rather to prolong life and the reason for this is so they can milk you for every cent they can. With each treatment phase, the patients health deteriorates further and he or she becomes increasingly desperate. This makes them vulnerable to being exploited and in their desperation they and their grieving families will turn to almost anything. Do the research and you will find any damn fool jumping on the band wagon offering "miracle cures" ranging from powdered gold to rat poison. What they are selling is as useless and ineffective as snake oils and love potions. It is deceitful quackery!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

Now with conventional treatment, first there is the big operation. The doctors cut you open and remove the tumour as best they can. They tell the patient it was a very successful operation and they got it all. This will get your hopes up. But when you go for your follow up, they tell you it is still there. So begins a regime of chemotherapy or radiation treatment. This knocks you right down. But you survive and start dealing with it. Then there are complications. Blood pressure too high. Blood pressure to low. Blood clotting. Thrombosis. Liquid on lungs. Constipation. Pain. Fever. With each of these you are required to take a different set of pills and each set of pills causes another complication. So you end up taking pills and syrups and God knows what, the one to counteract the effects of the other. It becomes a viscious cycle. The more pills you take, the more complications you suffer. At the end of it you become so emaciated and ravaged it is difficult to recognise yourself in the mirror. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

Now you get the picture, let us take a look at a scary statistic. Each year over 1000 oncologists (cancer doctors) are diagnosed with cancer. Less than 10% choose to undergo the treatment they prescribe! Why? Why the hell would they prescribe something if they would not take it themselves? Why would they sell a product if they do not believe in its worth? Because they are unethical charlatans and what they are busy with is emotional blackmail and fraud. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

Anyway, for anyone who has cancer or knows someone who does all I can say is be strong. I know what you are going through. It is a terrible, horrible and cruel thing. You are going to be in for one hell of a ride. Prepare yourself, get all your affairs in order. If you need any advice, please feel free to contact me. I will be able to recommend what foods work, what doesn't. Simple things that at the time seem so mundane but when you are in it you don't know what the hell to do. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

And to my father... I wish you didn't have to go through such agony and suffering. I wish I could have ended it. I will miss you more than words can explain, but I am very relieved for your sake that it is over. May your soul rest in peace. God bless. </div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">From award winning performance artist Louise du Toit, in conjunction with The Seals Of Nam comes a spine chilling public service announcement regarding the cruel and brutal seal slaughter that takes place each year in Namibia.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/lB73TWABTiU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi, my name is Louise du Toit, musician and recording artist
speaking out on behalf of <a href="http://www.thesealsofnam.org/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: cyan;">The Seals Of Nam</span></b></a>, a small yet dedicated organization
fighting to end one of the most iniquitous, reprehensible acts of mass cruelty
on earth, the annual Namibian seal slaughter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyone who knows me will also know I am an animal
lover at heart and I cannot abide cruelty in its many forms. I am truly
saddened that in this modern day and age the leaders and decision makers of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Namibia</st1:place></st1:country-region> have
chosen to ignore science, economics and the international voice of reason
regarding their wonderful seals and have instead decided to continue with one of the
largest slaughters of marine mammals on earth and the largest slaughter of wildlife in Africa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each year, over a period of 139 days, a quota of
80 000 pups are set to be slaughtered for their fur. This takes place at
two main locations namely <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Cape</st1:placetype>
<st1:placename w:st="on">Cross</st1:placename></st1:place> and Wolf/Atlas
Bay’s. At the crack of dawn, men armed with pick handles will invade the
beaches, disturb the entire breeding colony, forcibly separate the pups from
their mothers and violently beat as many of these animals to death as they can
before 9am. Video evidence confirms that after having being clubbed, many pups
are still alive and conscious when they are then stabbed in the throat to bleed
out. As the seals stampede towards the safety of the sea, heavy bulls crush any
young pups that get in their way. Pregnant females become so distraught they
regularly self abort while the unweaned pups, who are still dependent on the
teat, will vomit up their mothers milk in fear.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The pups are beaten to death rather than shot as a bullet
costs money and the hole it creates reduces the value of the pelt. From 9am to
10am the beaches are cleaned up of any blood so as to hide this disgrace from
unsuspecting paying tourists who arrive from 10am onwards to view what remains
of a once majestic seal colony. The bitter irony of this situation is that <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Cape</st1:placetype> <st1:placename w:st="on">Cross</st1:placename></st1:place>
is a designated seal reserve, an area where the seals ought to be protected. <span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A further quota of 6 000 adult bulls is set. Because
their skulls are too thick to be crushed with a pick handle, these animals are
instead shot in the face from a point blank range. Their fur is too coarse to
be used by the fashion industry. They are slaughtered so that their penises can
be exported to the East where they are then made into ineffective sex potions,
thus fueling an illegal trade in animal body parts for fake medicines. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a desperate, last ditch attempt to end this horrific
carnage, and after having exhausted all other appropriate channels (including pleading
with the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources, The Ministry of
Environmental Affairs and Tourism, The Namibian SPCA and the Directorate of
Environmental Affairs) The Seals of Nam finally met with the Namibian ombudsman
in September of 2011. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quoting from Namibian legislation, it was pointed out to government that they
are violating their own law. The Namibian Animal Protection Act clearly states
that is an offence to “ill-treat, neglect, infuriate, torture or maim or
cruelly beat, kick, goad or terrify any animal.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In July of 2012 and through a bizarre twist that
defies any sense of logic, the Namibian Ombudsman Adv John Walters ruled that a
seal is NOT an animal and is thus excluded from any benefits afforded by the
Animal Protection Act of 1962. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This to me is so utterly ridiculous, so morally wrong that I ask you to join me
and several other leading South African personalities, including Miss SA 2010<span style="color: red;"> </span> in supporting
The Seals of Nam’s campaign calling for a <b><a href="http://www.thesealsofnam.org/boycott-namibia/" target="_blank"><span style="color: cyan;">consumer boycott of sport, produce and tourism</span></a></b> against Namibia until such stage as the annual seal massacre is
permanently ended. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I also call upon the Namibian government to rise to the challenge in developing
more economically rewarding eco-tourism around their seal colony. I believe
this will be a positive move, in line with international sentiment and, once
developed, will be a brand the people of <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Namibia</st1:place></st1:country-region> can be truly proud of as
opposed to the current situation where the slaughter is nothing but a national
disgrace. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>

Of the many pet hates I have, Facebook games are right up there. I do not see the point in wasting time on such frivolous activities as sending pictures of tractors and clicking little blocks to harvest cyber vegetables. I find these games to be absolutely pathetic and there is more to life than making birds angry.<br /><br />If I want to play computer games, I would rather invest in a decent game that tests skill and imagination. War Craft or something similar.<br /><br />So I made this pic to send to the next person who sends me a sheep. </div>

It is a shameful secret the government has kept hidden from public outrage. Consequently, unlike the <b><a href="http://www.thesealsofnam.org/canadian-hunt/" target="_blank">Canadian hunt</a></b>, Namibia has received very little opposition to this iniquitous industry. </span></div>

Since the EU ban on seal products came into effect, Namibia became officially responsible for the deaths of more seals than any other country on earth. Although Canada sets higher quotas, Namibia is killing more seals. To understand why it is considered to be the cruelest hunt on earth we have put together the following informative clip </span></span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;">Namibia's seal slaughter is NOT a cull. It is a commercial hunt. The slaughter targets 80 000 nursing pups and 6 000 alpha breeding bulls. Namibia is the only country on earth to beat un-weaned pups to death.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><br /></span>

However, since mostly male pups and bulls are targeted (so that their penises can make ineffective sex potions for the East) we are left with a an un-natural situation where there are proportionately many more females in a given population. Since one bull can mate with up to 40 females, you are not reducing the population, you are INCREASING it. </span></div>

This is a blatant lie. We know it, government knows it but they keep pushing it to the gullible. If you lined up every single seal colony in Namibia and put them side by side, this "super colony" would stretch out over roughly 18 km's. Namibia has 1 500 km's of coastline. Her economic fishing zone is 200 nautical miles wide. There is no possible way 18 km of seals can devour an entire 1 500 km's x 200 nm of fish stocks.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; line-height: 17.99715805053711px;"><br /></span>

The Benguela Nino has displaced juvenile hake from their spawning grounds, causing them to move to deeper cooler water. Here they are preyed upon by adult hake since both species are canabalistic. Because they have not yet reached sexual maturity, the hake do not breed causing a collapse in stocks.</span><br />

No public records of an environmental impact assessment to warrant this increase can be found. </span></div>

This irresponsible behaviour does the environment no favours but leaves a greedy commercial fishing industry smiling. Monk Fish quotas for example were increased from 1 000 tons to 14 000 tons while scientists only recommended 2 000 tons.</span></span></div>

It was pointed out to government that they are violating their own legislation. The Namibian Animal Protection Act states it is an offence to "overload, overdrive, override, ill-treat, neglect, infuriate, torture or maim or cruelly beat, kick, goad or terrify any animal.”</span></span><br />

In September of 2011 I met with this idiot John Walters. I was accompanied by representatives from IFAW, WSPA, NSPCA, Sea Shepherd, Seal Alert etc.<br /><br />We put forward literally a mountain of arguments as to why the annual seal slaughter in Namibia is wrong. It doesn't make economic sense, it violates the law, it destroys tourism, it is cruel, seals are not responsible for a drop in fish catches, the seals have suffered loss of habitat etc.<br /><br />Now the Banana Republic of Nambabwe has ruled that a seal is not an animal. Can you BELIEVE it? </div>

Ok, so I set up my new website using Google Chrome right? I publish my Wordpress page. It deals with seals, their breeding habits, distribution etc. The post has key words like "female" "Mating" etc I go view it and holy crap, links I never inserted appear with certain words underlined taking the reader to obviously spammy websites .<br />

Have I been hacked? WTF?<br />
Turns out I have an extension called Yontoo on both Chrome as well as loaded in my program files. I deleted these and VOILA problem solved.<br />
No more adverting appearing on my Wordpress site!<br />
Hope this helps someone, cause hell... finding the fix took me a while SO....<br />
I will tag appropriately<br />

Happy blogging!<br />
Oh yeah... check out Malwarebytes. Not bad for a freebee<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">A pilot whale's blubber is cut off to begin its slaughter at the Seaman's Day celebration in Klaksvík on August 21, 2010. After a kill, the meat and blubber of the pilot whales is divided up between everyone in the community. Although whale once made up a large part of the Faroese diet, growing concerns over mercury levels and changing cultural tastes means that people are consuming significantly less of it today. The result is the whales are slaughtered and the meat is dumped. This barbarity is done .... for fun!</span></div>

ver once replied. No answer, no explanation; nothing. What do you think about BOSF?<br />
<br />
Her only protection from the weather is a black trash bag to place over her own head. If you are familiar with tropical storms you will know all about thunder, lightning and rain. Gundul faces all this, alone, especially at night: Think about that for a moment. Pitch dark, torrential rain, thunder and lightning and she is there all alone and this could be a daily occurrence during the long rainy season.<br />
<br />
It has been 20 years since she was taken from her slaughtered mother. Gundul has not seen another orangutan for 20 years: Why not take some time and think about this as well?<br />
<br />
She is now 21 years-old and held by an old man since 1990 in Samarinda on the east coast of Borneo. When she was a baby, Gundul was free to go everywhere; even the old man let her around his house. However, when she grew up, Gundul’s strength and frustrations became a threat to the owner, so she was placed inside a cage. As Gundul could not be kept in a cage anymore, because she was able to destroy the wooden cage. So she was tied up at her neck by chains, and the chains are tied up to a tree.<br />
<br />
Despite everything Gundul is a gentle and seemingly forgiving orangutan. Her future, though, is uncertain. Will BOSF abandon Gundul the way they abandoned Rambo before he died? The only certainty is, Gundul will not be helped unless YOU do something to help her.<br />
<br />
In this instance Gundul’s owner wants her to be confiscated.<br />
<br />
If you would like to have Gundul saved, the person to write to is: Jamartin Sihite, CEO, BOSF, bos_komunikasi@orangutan.o<wbr></wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block;"></span>r.id<br />

IF NOT YOU, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?</div>

ouse, the sorrowful bull suddenly stopped going forward and knelt down on his two front legs. The bull... was all in tears.<br />
<br />
How did he know he was going to get killed before he entered the slaughter house? He is even smarter than people.<br />
<br />
Mr. Shiu, a butcher recalled, "When I saw this kind of so-called "stupid" animal sobbing and with his eyes in fear and sorrow, I started trembling." "I called the rest over to see. They were just as surprised. We kept pushing the bull forward, but he just didn't want to move and sat there crying."<br />
<br />
Billy Fong, owner of the packaging factory said, "People thought animals didn't cry like human beings. However that bull really sobbed like a baby." At that time, more than ten strong men witnessed the scene and they were all touched. Those who were responsible for slaughtering even felt more touched and teared as well.<br />
<br />
Other workers working at the same slaughter house also came to see the crying bull. It was all packed with people. They were all shock by this scene. Three of them said they would never forget this crying bull when they slaughter other animals.<br />
<br />
With both man and animal crying, everyone knew that nobody could kill the bull. The problem was, what should they do with him? In the end, they raised funds to buy this crying bull and sent him to a temple, where the kind monks would take care of him for life.<br />
<br />
After the workers had made a decision, a miracle happened. A worker said, "When we promised this bull that we will not kill him, he started moving and followed us."<br />
<br />
How did he understand people's words?<br />
<br />
Mr. Shiu said "Believe it or not? This is real although it sounds unbelievable." No doubt, this bull changed these butchers' lives.<br />
<br />
Hopefully this story has in turn changed yours.</div>

<br />These are Cape Fur Seals. They are a threatened species. Namibia massacre around 85 000 of these each year. And that's just the babies. They are beaten to a bloody pulp so that their little fur pelts can be sold for $7. Namibia will shoot an extra 6 000 bulls at point blank range to use their penises for ineffective sex potions. So in all honesty, I would really prefer to do something constructive than play stupid bloody Facebook games.<br /><br />Are you shocked? Well good. I hope you ARE! So what are YOU going to do with YOUR time? Are you going to allow the planet which gives you life to be raped and pillaged by the greedy?</div>

Each year in Namibia, 85 000 baby seals are cruelly beaten to death for their fur in. A further 6 000 adult bull seals are shot at point blank range so that their genitals can be used to make ineffective sex potions for the Asian market. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the hope of ending this brutal massacre, I made representations to the Namibian ombudsman along with other leading industry role players such as <a href="http://www.ifaw.org/united-states/node/7143" target="_blank">IFAW</a>, <a href="http://www.seashepherd.org/commentary-and-editorials/2011/09/26/reflections-on-meeting-with-the-namibian-ombudsman-486" target="_blank">Sea Shepherd</a>, the <a href="http://www.dawsons.co.za/2011/09/dawsons-represents-nspca-wspa-at-namibian-seal-harvest-meeting/" target="_blank">NSPCA</a>, <a href="http://sealalertsa.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Seal Alert</a> etc. in September of 2011. At this meeting, I presented the government of Namibia with a 10 000 signature petition from the international community calling for an end of the slaughter. The outcome of that meeting is yet to be decided. The ombudsman, Adv. John Walters has indicated that he will present his findings regarding the future of the seal hunt before the end of May 2012. </div>

To apply additional pressure, <b><a href="http://www.sites.google.com/site/thesealsofnam/" target="_blank">The Seals Of Nam</a></b> went one step further and has called for a moratorium on all seal clubbing in Namibia. We generated a petition with over 22 000 signatures which again was delivered to Walters. We are asking that YOU take further action by emailing the office of the ombudsman requesting that this atrocious slaughter be halted with immediate effect. </div>

The Seals Of Nam has taken the further initiative to create yet another petition, this one targeting the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources.

Please would you be so kind as to <b><a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/The_Seals_Of_Nam_End_the_seal_hunt_in_Namibia/" target="_blank">add YOUR name</a></b> to this document which will be presented to the Hon. Bernard Esau before the start of the annual bloodbath in July.<br />

"Attempts interstate and overseas to manage seal populations through culling, sterilisation or relocation have proven resource-hungry and largely ineffectual and any benefit received from relocating a small number of seals would likely be lost due to the influx of new seals."<br />
