started this petition to
President Barack Obama, The Honorable Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton & H.E. Mr. Martin Andjaba, Ambassador of the Republic of Namibia to the U.S.

Namibia is responsible for the largest slaughter of wildlife on earth. This barbaric cull is absolutely unnecessary ~ Cape Fur Seals are rapidly disappearing and dangerously close to extinction. In February, 2012 WWF (World Wildlife Foundation) co-hosted an event in Namibia to focus on eco-tourism ~ the Namibian Compact with the MCC (Millennium Challenge Corporation- U.S. Independent Foreign Aid Agency) was $305M.

As a U.S. citizen I implore our President & Secretary of State to carefully reconsider providing funds to a country that so blithely destroys its wildlife ~ the barbaric methods notwithstanding. To continue this funding, at the taxpayers expense, is unconscionable. Are we that removed from what is happening in the countries we fund via the MCC ~ where are the watchdogs ~ do we no longer care what is happening to our planet's wildlife, our ocean's life ~ WAKE UP WASHINGTON! We are Activists on the Front Lines and we are paying attention.

July 1st ~ 85,000 Baby Fur Seals will be separated from their mothers ~ stabbed and clubbed to death. 6,000 Bull Seals will be shot in the head for their penises, ineffective aphrodisiacs. $7.00 a pelt.

Time is short ~ PLEASE! Let our government know that WE ARE WATCHING & WE ARE VOTING ~.

BE THE VOICE FOR THESE SEALS ~ YOU ARE THEIR ONLY VOICE ~

June 29th ~ 10:00 a.m. PROTESTS ~ The Namibian Embassy, Washington D.C. ~ The White House & Lafayette Park ~ 2:00 p.m.

Petitions will be delivered to President Barack Obama, Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton & H.E. Mr. Martin Andjaba, Ambassador of the Republic of Namibia to the U.S.
