Pro-Seal Hunt Celebrations

March 16th, 2008

The Canadian Press: Sealskin was the new black at the Swiler’s Ball on George Street Saturday. The event, planned and co-ordinated by the Fur Institute of Canada and local pro-sealing activists, drew a crowd of about 200 to celebrate sealers and the sealing industry in this province.

Each member of The Navigators, the band that performed at the event, wore a sealskin hat and used sealskin guitar straps (“So the guitars would be warm, too”).
