The Honorable Steven Harper,
Prime Minister of Canada
Ottawa, Ontario

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

re: Globe & Mail Article dated September 23, 2009

It is with great shock, disgust and quite frankly, embarrassment that I read this article today stating that Canada will not take a stand against the imports of dog and cat fur from Asian countries. The reason given was so lame as to be laughable if not for the heartbreak that is the torture and suffering of millions of dogs and cats in Asia that are tortured and killed every day for fur and meat.

It is incomprehensible to me that our great strong country would back away from taking a stand on this issue solely because it is worried about saving face on the seal hunt issue. Mr. Harper, we have no face on the seal hunt issue. We are wrong to sponsor this hunt every year and until we stop the seal hunt, we will always be viewed as barbarians by our global neighbors.

To back away from the banning of importation of cat and dog fur only serves to promote our bad image as ignorant, unsympathetic barbarians who support the beating of baby animals and the torture and killing of millions of dogs and cats that but for the grace of God, would otherwise be our family pets.

Mr. Prime Minister, on your homepage there is a link to fostering pets with a very pretty picture of you with some sweet kitties. Where exactly are you on this issue anyway? Do you have a position? Are you a lover of animals as you claim to be on that web page or are you a hypocrite?

I would really like to know. I would also really like to hear you come out of your office today and announce to the world that Canadians will NOT import cat or dog fur and that we WILL stand with our US and European brothers and sisters on this issue by banning all imports of cat and dog fur.

Please Mr Harper, this is a very important issue to me and up until I read this article today, I was fairly convinced that the next election would see me vote Conservative which I have absolutely NEVER done. And now that may remain forever true if you and your team do not reverse yourselves on this issue.

We put you in Ottawa to serve our best interests. I and the millions of Canadians who object to the torture of animals would appreciate it if you would start doing just that.

Sincerely
Cheryl Jewhurst

Animal Cruelty Condoned in Exchange for Trying to Save An Already Lost Face.

Shame on you, Canada! My country strong and free…shame on you for making such a horrendous decision.

A report in the Globe & Mail today details how the federal government of Canada won’t ban imports of cat and dog fur from Asia because doing so might undermine Canada’s support for the seal hunt according to a newly released report.

See full story here.

What a load of crap! There is no support for the seal hunt you dickheads, you just don’t get it yet! Canada is being booed at all over the globe for this ridiculous cruel hunt and because of a very tiny amount of fishermen who make a very meagre living off of beating on baby seals every spring, you’re willing to let millions of cats and dogs suffer and perish without a word of protest. Just so you can continue to beat your stupid heads against the wall trying to save face and win an argument you have no hope of ever winning.

This is not my position or the position of hundreds of thousands of my fellow Canadians. We pay millions of dollars in taxes every year and vote faithfully every stinking election to make sure our country represents our best interests. Beating on baby animals and allowing imports from countries that perpetrate the abuse you see below is NOT IN OUR BEST INTERESTS!

You idiots in Ottawa are all doing a really lousy job. You’re fired! The whole stinking lot of you!

Who are these “government officials” who are whispering in the Agriculture Minister’s ears? Why won’t they show themselves? Name them, I want to know where to address my pure and unadulterated disgust.

You can rest assured that at the next election, which will be soon I have no doubt, my vote will only be cast for a candidate who will stand up against the seal hunt and have balls enough to stand up against the importation of dog and cat fur (or any fur for that matter). And I will actively campaign against the seal hunt, the import of any fur products and any idiot candidate who hasn’t got the guts to take a stand against these atrocities.

Until then, my dear readers, please do not buy or wear fur of any kind. And I mean faux fur as well. It may not be real but other people don’t know that. Fur is tacky! Period!

Oh and my scathing letters to you Canadian political bozos are on the way.
