PETITION FOR THE CAPE FUR SEALS
NAMIBIA
Letter sent by AAP via

Dear
Sir,
Action Against
Poisoning fights animal poisoning in particular and supports animal
protection in general.
We have been informed on the culling of baby Cape Fur seals in
Namibia. We cannot fathom the pleasure that people derive from such
activities as no money can compensate the act of a massacre, be it
on men or on animals.
We were already
quite upset by the visit - a few months ago - of the South African
Minister Martinus Van Schalkwijk to his embassy in The Netherlands
to lobby for elephant culling as a new project added to his
successful Cape Fur Seal culling policy. What species might he want
to cull next? This man loves culling!
Now we are confonted with a Namibian Minister telling his people to
get used to eating seal meat as a means of disposing of the seal
pup carcasses, obviously making the killing "useful" for the
Namibian people.
We hope that you
will understand that this contageous, unscrupulous and destructive
attitude is repulsive to people who value life. Why are even
educated African officials so gung-ho on massive killing of
helpless animals that they are willing to forfeit all international
support and respect for their actions and - consequently - their
country?
As your
motivation eludes us, please explain your
emotional and financial considerations and decisions that lead to
the deliberate annihilation of the Namibian seals.
If we can understand, we might not loose all faith in the
government of one of the most precious nature regions of the
world.
We look forward to your reply.
Yours
sincerely,
Drs P.M.
Donker
