It's crucial you watch the video below, made by IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare), and do your utmost to save these little sea critters! The words below was written exactly as it is by the president of IFAW!
"Baby seals need ice to survive. So when the ice disappears, so do the newborn seals. You see, without a solid, stable ice platform on which to give birth and nurse their pups, many harp seal mothers are forced to abort their pups in the water where they sink and die.This is the worst ice year on record for the east coast of Canada.
Even those seals born on land have suffered a terrible fate. We've seen dead and abandoned pups on beaches, starving pups crying for food and trying to suckle off each other, and pups swimming in desperate search of ice on which they can rest. Yet despite this horrific tragedy, the Canadian government has called for 330,000 harp seals to be slaughtered - even though most of the pups are already thought to have died! It is truly heartbreaking...the lack of ice and the seal hunt could result in the loss of almost all of this year's pups.
And because there's so little ice, many of the seals taken in this year's hunt will be shot in the water. It's hard for a sealer to get a steady shot from a boat, so more seals will be "struck and lost". Wounded and then disappearing into the ocean - these seals are likely to experience severe pain and prolonged suffering before they die.
It's heartbreaking to realize that even those baby seals who somehow managed to survive the last few weeks before the hunt began may now be killed to support a dying market for products that no one needs.
You and I may not be able to save these seals from the effects of climate change, but the Canadian government can stop the survivors from being hunted.
Please give whatever you can now to put an end to this senseless cruelty."

I know Easter is long over! But I just HAD to share these adorable pictures, sent by Billy Jo! Enjoy!
Now, humor aside... The information below is on the Montana Bear tragedy. You've been asked NOT to feed the animals in parks. They'd lose their own foraging skills and EXPECT food from people. They get very cranky if they don't get it! Animals that were formerly self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democratic Party... as they have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance.
The photo below captures a disturbing trend that is beginning to affect USA's wildlife. This photo is of a Democrat black bear in Montana nicknamed: Bearack Obearma.

"Well if the ice is disappearing, we may as well kill them all now, otherwise they will be wasted."- Newfound sealer, 2007
