Sometimes seals are on Sarah McLachlan’s shirt. Sometimes they drive tractors. Sometimes they’re in Washington, D.C.

And, as it turns out, sometimes they block the entrance to the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City to protest Canada’s seal slaughter while the country’s prime minister, Stephen Harper, is inside at a meeting … and then they’re taken away by the police.

Take action! Tell Prime Minister Harper that the seal slaughter must end.
