Tweet Storm to save Namibia's baby seals

Slaves slaving

80 000 baby seals are savagely beaten to death on the beaches of Namibia. Undercover footage of this barbarity reveals that these seals receive multiple beatings before they are rendered dead or unconscious. This senseless massacre, which is anything BUT humane, is undertaken to satisfy the whims of greed and profit.

It is the largest slaughter of wildlife in Africa and the second largest slaughter of marine mammals on earth.

Below you will find a list of Tweets directed at celebrities, decision makers and influential people. Please join us in a global outcry and help unleash a storm of condemnation on the government of Namibia for their continued despicable and iniquitous act of mass cruelty.

Simply copy and paste! It couldn't be easier!

The Cry of the Innocent

From award winning performance artist Louise du Toit, in conjunction with The Seals Of Nam comes a spine chilling public service announcement regarding the cruel and brutal seal slaughter that takes place each year in Namibia. 

Be one of the FIRST people to see this announcement!

We are extremely grateful to Louise who has put a lot of effort and time into the production of this PSA. 

We ask that YOU join us in a global outcry and help share the message as widely as possible. Because together, we ARE making a difference.

Date of release to be announced soon!

So keep your eyes peeled and your ears pricked and listen to "The CRY of the INNOCENT!"

Super Trawler to rape Namibia

Bernard Esau, Namibia's Minister of Fisheries continues to declare it is Namibia's sovereign right to butcher seals for destroying fish stocks. At the same time, he invites with open arms a super trawler, banned from several countries, to enter Namibia's territorial waters to rape and plunder stocks at will.

For a man who is always on about job creation and protecting fish stocks, we fail to understand his logic. 

Unless of course he is on the payroll and is receiving bribes

Drone Project

We are currently building a conservation drone to help us monitor the wild Cape Fur seal populations in Southern Africa. 

Cape Fur seals are a threatened species. They are listed on Appendix II of CITES and have lost more than 90% of their preferred habitat. Global warming has resulted in seven major mass die offs in the last 15 years with the 2006 die off resulting in the deaths of 1/3rd of total population. 

If you would like to contribute towards this initiative please contact us via our contact page

Safari in Namibia?

Looking for motivation to sign pledge to boycott Namibia?

Each seal skin sells for $7.00 It takes between 6-8 skins to make a fur coat. One fur coat sells for $30 000.00 

The money does not stay in Namibia to benefit the economically disadvantaged workers, who have their human dignity assaulted on a daily basis by beating hundreds of baby seals to death.

These uneducated people are exploited in the extreme. They are kept in position of squalor and poverty, utterly dependent on the meager seasonal slaughter in order to survive. They live in makeshift corrugated tin shacks and earn the equivalent of $8 per day for their labor. 

There is no profit sharing scheme in place. They have no access to trauma counselling. Drug and alcohol abuse is rife. Domestic violence is common.

An independent report shows eco-tourism could yield THREE HUNDRED TIMES more revenue and create a multitude of jobs ALL YEAR ROUND.

Rather than uplift this impoverished community, the corrupt government of Namibia refuses to look into this viable alternative for their people.

Instead, without any scientific evidence, the government continues to blame seals for a decline in fish stocks and slaughters these gentle animals in their tens of thousands, thus upsetting the delicate balance of a fragile Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME)

By putting pressure on the country's tourism industry through a boycott, you will help us to force the government to change their cruel and unethical seal slaughter policy.

You can sign our petitions to end the madness here

Please share this message as widely as possible. Namibia, her seals and her people need your support.
