WildlifeoPedia officially releases its first campaign: ''Voice for Voiceless: Seal the Future''

April 19, 2025

In a powerful stand against cruelty and silence, WildlifeoPedia—the youth-led wildlife conservation brand—has officially launched its very first campaign: “Voice for Voiceless: Seal the Future.” The campaign directly targets the inhumane commercial hunting of harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus), aiming to raise awareness, spark action, and ultimately help bring an end to one of the most controversial and heartbreaking practices in the modern wildlife trade.

A Tradition of Violence
Each year, thousands of harp seals—many of them pups just weeks old—are killed on the ice during the Canadian seal hunt (The seal hunt also takes place in other parts of the world but since Canada is leading, this campaign is mainly focused on the Canadian commercial seal hunt). Often clubbed or shot, these animals are hunted primarily for their fur. While the European Union banned seal product imports in 2009, commercial hunts continue, particularly in Canada, under the defense of culture and economy. However, annual seals killed have reduced by over 90% in the past 10 years!

Seal the Future, Literally
The campaign includes a digital badge (downloadable for free on the Seal Hunt page), and even more detailed insights, aiming to help people understand what the commercial seal hunt actually involves. WildlifeoPedia is also encouraging supporters to contact lawmakers and companies that still ''profit'' from the trade in seal products. If it weren't for the Canadian government spending millions of dollars every year, the industry would've collapsed a long time ago.
