@actiondiscoveries: Pamela Anderson, who is Canadian, says her own country’s seal h@nt is a wasteful bailout of a dying trade. In a 2016 letter to Justin Trudeau, she asked the prime minister to stop spending millions of tax dollars propping up sealing. She has protested the h@nt since 2009 and is an honorary director of PETA. Anderson pointed out that the US, the EU and Russia have all banned seal fur imports, and that China declined Canadian seal meat. She described the off-season trade as less than one percent of Newfoundland’s economy. Canada’s own scientists put the harp seal population at 4.4 million in 2024, down from 7.5 million in 1998. Recent h@nts have landed well under 100,000 seals against a quota of 400,000, and animal welfare groups back a federal buyout of sealing licences, noting that Norway has already ended subsidies for its own h@nt. #canada #us #dollars #actiondiscoveries #ContentCreatorInsightsIn2026
