Graphic: Bearing
Witness: Canada's 2005 Seal Hunt was filmed in late March –
early April 2005 on the ice floes in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
It follows Rebecca Aldworth, director of Canadian wildlife issues
for The Humane Society of the United States, as she observes
the annual commercial slaughter of young seals. Mother harp
seals give birth to their babies atop the ice floes. When the
babies are as young as 12-days-old, seal hunters kill the pups
for their skins.
"A
lot of people ask how I can go back and look at it each and
every year that I do," says Aldworth in the film. "It's
a horrific thing to look at, but I know that in going there
and filming and observing, and telling the world what is happening
on the ice floes, we can put an end to it."
