March 15, day Against Seal Killing
March 15, day Against Seal Killing, is a date dedicated to raising awareness in the world about the cruelty of commercial seal hunting and the need to protect marine mammals. The event seeks to raise awareness among the global population and pressure governments to adopt more rigorous policies to prevent indiscriminate hunting, which, becoming legal in some regions, has generated great international outrage.
The practice of seal hunting, which occurs mainly in countries such as Canada and Finland, involves crude methods, such as the killing of filhotes with white fur, which are especially vulnerable. In addition to its direct impact on seals, commercial hunting also harms the balance of marine ecosystems, affecting the entire food chain.
International organizations such as the International Fund for Animal Health (IFAW) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are working tirelessly to eradicate this practice and promote sustainable alternatives for the communities that depend on its activities. The World Day Against Seal Killing is an opportunity to amplify these voices and reinforce the importance of preserving marine life for future generations.
