Comments: Please join Animal Connection of Texas (ACT) in protest at the Canadian Consulate in Dallas on Monday, March 15th for baby seals in Canada that are annually clubbed to death just to have their skin brutally ripped from their little bodies, often while they are still conscious for nothing more than a “fashion statement” with their fur. Most countries around the world object to this needless, cruel slaughter. The U.S. and as of this year, the EU have both boycotted any seal products due to the brutality and needlessness of this hunt.
Posters and literature/leaflets will be provided., however you are welcome and encouraged to make a personal statement with your own posters if you have the time.

View Map
This is the map of the old Montreal and the direction we will take with the gathering close to the river. It’s a walk of ½ kilometre approximately. We ask to wear white and a red arm-band, which will symbolize, the innocence of the animals and blood pour by those which are brutally assassinated. (The arm-band perhaps a simple piece of paperboard, or red paper or a scarf.) The walk will begin at 13: 00 hrs, and the starting gathering will be done in front of City town hall, on Notre-Dame Street.
