The Croation Ministry of Culture concluded that they would no longer accept imports of Canadian seal fur.
Croatia joined Mexico, the United States, Greenland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Luxembourg, which already banned or are in a process of introducing a ban on import of pelts and other products derived from seals.
'By taking this extremely important step, Croatia contributed a lot to endeavours of the Coalition to Protect Seals which at the moment has 47 member organizations from all over the world, but also to more than 70% of world and Canadian public which is opposing to this pointless and shameless slaughter', says Luka Oman, chairman of Animal Friends Croatia. 'We would like that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of Croatia follows the bright example of the Ministry of Culture and implements the ban on breeding animals for fur in Croatia in their Animal Protection Bill Proposal. '
If you haven't already please tell your friends and family to check out some web sites about the seal hunt. Maybe you are for it. Maybe your against it. No matter what you are, it never hurts to speak up about it. Ignorance is bliss, unless your a baby seal.
