Singer and animal right advocate Paul McCartney is using his celebrity voice to get the European Parliament to enact a ban on the sale of all seal products. In his quest to stop hunters from viciously killing the animals for their meat and skin, he has lent his support in the fight to make it illegal to hunt seal.
In Strasbourg next week there will be a vote by the MEP to implement a complete ban. Paul released a statement on the matter.
“The fate of millions of seal pups is in the hands of elected members of the European Parliament. In the next few weeks they will have a historic opportunity to stop the cruel trade in seal products throughout the European Union.”
Actress Pamela Anderson is also fighting the same battle with Russia. It should be interesting to see if their star power will have some impact on this matter.
