I received a filled-out contact form from a visitor to www.beavoiceforthevoiceless.com last week who had an excellent recommendation. She suggested that I include information about the Canadian Harp Seals. I reached a conundrum, because there are so many different species of animals suffering from specifically cruel treatment, and it’s hard to select just one or a few to focus on.

But her suggestion gave me the idea to start posting weekly “Have a Heart” action items, in which a simple topic and action link are posted to current issues on each of the three main tabs: Animals, People and Earth. This week’s action items (visit www.beavoiceforthevoiceless.com for the links… gonna make you leave my blog and go have a look for yourself… haha):

Animals: Help the Canadian Harp Seals!

People: Help the human rights activists in Zimbabwe!

Earth: Sign the pledge to quit drinking bottled water!

I also want to take a bit of space to include the text of the comments from the visitor who suggested I highlight the Canadian Harp Seals, as she took time to give some very good information:

“I saw your site and have only looked at a few pages so far. I think it's really cool that you made a site that's dedicated to being a voice for the animals.

Do you know anything about the Canadian Seal Hunt? (www.harpseals.org). Every year the Canadian fishermen kill 300,000 seals, 98% being as young as 12 days old. There was a study done in which it was found out that 42% of the seals were skinned alive in one year. There fishermen only make %5 of their income from the annual slaughter, the 95% from fishing. The U.S. buys 70% of all seafood exports so the U.S. is a big supporter to the lifestyle of the fishermen. If you want I can set you up for main links for easy ways to help.
Maybe there is some way you can incorporate that into your site. Thanks for reading.”
