Once an hour for the last three months, salmon producers have been detonating seal-killing explosives in the tranquil waters around Tasmania.
New reports confirm the threat to seals and endangered marine animals is rising, and without action now to stop the use of these explosives this pristine wilderness and all the animals that live there will be destroyed. But when Tasmania's government released its new ten-year plan to regulate the industry...they said nothing about the seal-killing bombs!
We’ve landed a meeting this week with lawyers who have experience in winning against the fishing industry. With your help, we can build a rock solid legal case to ban seal-killing explosives -- and win tougher protections here and everywhere.
The thing is lawsuits are expensive. Your help will make a huge impact in helping us fund this fight and win. Can you chip in today to ban seal-killing bombs for good?
