Cape Fur Seals - Part 2
 
The plight of seals world wide, the relentless clubbing suffered in predominantly Canada and Namibia, where over 400 000 animals are collectively butchered, is a subject very close to our heart. We have been very successful in keeping the eyes of the world watching. Two half hour documentaries on SABC and the rest of Africa in as many years, a third in production. (covering what is happening Internationally) One could say ecoeye was born, from our witnessing the brutal slaying of Seal Pups and is desperate to do something about it. (hence the logo) Aims of the Film/Media Campaign So many hours of footage get shot of especially the Canadian clubbing yet according to HSUS in a recent interview, it never gets on television in that country. We aim to change that. We also want to let the world know what is going on in Namibia and aid any organisations in their attempt to halt the barbaric practice Result/outcome We have worked together with organisations like Seal Alert, the HSUS, and Sea Shepherd getting material they have often sourced to package it in such a way that broadcasters do show the films. To date we have been very successful getting these films aired, aiding Seal Alert with their campaign and even personally delivering material to the Prime Minister of Namibia, informing him what the International community thought of Seal Clubbing.
