👉 Prohibition against seal hunting in the EU under threat - Party for the Animals fights to keep seal protections in place. 🙏
The sale of products originating from hunting seals has been prohibited in the EU since 2009. However, the European Parliament’s Committee on Fisheries is attempting to question this prohibition following critiques from Danish and Swedish fishers, who want more seal hunting and seal products. 😲
In 2024, the European Commission also tried to question the prohibition on seal products. However, 94% of Europeans spoke out against the sale of seal products! 👏
The Party for the Animals is strongly against seal hunting and has submitted motions to underline the importance of prohibiting seal products.
In response, the European Parliament recognized that almost all European citizens are against seal hunting. However, the Parliament neglected to restate its support for the ban on seal products.
We would have preferred to see the European Parliament take a stronger stance against seal hunting. The Party for the Animals will continue to fight for the safety and protection of seals! 🦭🦭🦭
“The ban on seal products is one of the most important animal protection laws in the EU, and that should stay this way. It cannot be possible that there will be fur skins of clubbed seals in our shops again!” Hazekamp.
