KILLING OF NEWBORN HARP SEALS IN CANADIAN WATERS
91 STAT. 1669 Apr. 6, 1977 [H- Con. Res. 142]
Whereas the annual six-week harp seal hunt in Canada is scheduled to begin March 12, 1977, amidst growing public concern and protest; Whereas the quota for this year's hunt has increased from one hundred and twenty-seven thousand to one hundred and seventy thousand seal pelts; Whereas the 1977 quota will allow hunters to kill a high percentage of the newborn seal pup population; Whereas there is enough conflicting scientific data available indicating that the 1977 quotas may be unsound from a conservation point oi view; and Whereas there is a growing international appreciation of the need to preserve animals which are or may become endangered species: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives {the Senate concurring), That, because the killing of newborn harp seals in Canadian waters is considered by many citizens of the United States to be cruel, and if continued at the current high level may cause the extinction of that species of seals, the Government of Canada is urged to reassess its present policy of permitting such killing in Canadian waters. Passed April 6, 1977.
