Those who feel strongly against the slaughter of seal pups in Canada should stop buying Canadian seafood and should not visit Canada until the cull is banned.

This is the advice of charity Respect for Animals which points out that more than 1 million seal pups have been killed in the last five years and encourages people to write to the Canadian High Commissioner in London with their objections.

Testicles of male pups are highly prized in China as an aphrodisiac.
