MFOA is sponsoring a Joint Resolution calling on the Canadian Government to end their sanctioning of the annual seal pup slaughter. We proposed this resolution in the 124th legislature and it did not get out the Legislative Council (leadership of both parties and chambers) to be voted on by the full legislature.
This legislative session we again filed the resolution and found out that L.R. 674 HAS been sent from the Legislative Council to be drafted and sent out for a vote! Rep. Paul Waterhouse of Bridgton is our sponsor.
Please L.R. 674 Canadian Seal Hunt Resolution Fact Sheet. Please pass the word, distribute this Fact Sheet, and of course, have people call their legislators to support this resolution to end this horrific annual slaughter.

Maine being the closest American state to this extremely inhumane hunt must support a complete ban on this brutal practice for fur. MFOA’s strategy is political and financial in nature and needs your support. Three ways you can help MFOA in this effort:
