WHERE:
Outside Commission building Berlaymont
in Brussels
Help to stop the
slaughter of seals by taking part in a peaceful
demonstration that could help end the world's
largest killing of marine mammals. The European
Commission is currently considering to ban the
import and trade of seal products. It is vitally
important that the people of Europe, who overwhelmingly
support such a ban, send a clear message to the
Commission. That is why Eurogroup is organising
the demonstration together with IFAW, Humane Society
International, GAIA and other animal welfare organisations
from all over Europe.
We call for
a total EU-wide ban on the import and trade of
seal products (skins, oil, etc) with no exemptions.
To maximise the
impact of the demonstration and to avoid the media
reporting on the demonstration from a negative
angle, we urge all participants to be on their
best behaviour and to follow any instructions
of the police and the stewards who will be there
to look after people's safety.
