International Day of Action coming up!!
At Bont voor Dieren we're really busy gearing up for our protest rally outside the Canadian Embassy in the Hague. 15th March has been declared the International Day of Action against the commercial seal hunt. At noon, there will be 52 different demonstrations held against the Canadian seal hunt in 26 different countries. Together with Marianne Thieme, leader of the Dutch political Party for Animals (Partij voor de Dieren), we will hand over 75,000 signatures of protest to Mr. April, the Canadian Ambassador to the Netherlands.
Our organisation has been protesting against the commercial seal hunt for years, but this is the very first time that a delegation will actually be let into the Embassy! Previously we used to have to pass the petitions through the bars of the Embassy fence to the doorman. People are really enthusiastic about taking part in this rally and the e-mails saying that they'll be there on 15th March between 11.00 and 13.00 just keep pouring in. If you want to take part, you can sign up at info@stopdeknuppels.nl and we'll pass on the details.
If you live elsewhere in the world, you can visit the www.hsus.org site for a full list of rally locations from Argentina to Australia.
