1994 Continued: Captain Paul Watson and Sea Shepherd
International Director Lisa Distefano lead
an expedition to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and collect the
hair fibers of molting harp seal pups, initiat-ing
a pilot project that will utilize the hollow seal hairs in
insulated bedding products. The seal brush-ing
demonstrates a non-lethal, cruelty-free alternative to
sealing and the Canadian government's
plan to export seal penises to the Asian aphrodisiac trade.
Shanghai Fisheries of Taiwan contracts to
slaughter 60,000 seals for their penises. Under DFO
supervision, sealers begin the non-lethal har-vest
of molting seal hair and send the first commercial batch to
Kirchhoff Bettwarenfabrik.

We wonder why the canadian government doesn't use the seal
penises themselves.
