If you’ve ever been to the zoo
or looked through a book of animals, you have probably come across some
marine mammal. However, I am willing to bet that you still have a lot to
learn about these magnificent creatures. This webpage is dedicated to
teaching you all about the specific marine mammal, the harp seal.
Hopefully after learning about them you will feel a little more
appreciative for this unique species.
A good place to start learning about harp seals would be under the
CLASSIFICATION page. Feel free to
explore and learn more.
If you know anything at all about the harp seal, it is probably about
the seal hunt. Recently the fight against these hunts has been highly
publicized, especially by organizations such as PETA; there are even
organizations made solely to fight for the creatures that cannot fight
for themselves. Below are a few videos provided to give you a better
idea of how seals are hunted.

Humane Society of the United States.
Every year harp seals continue to be hunted and die
without cause. if you would like to help save the seals from a fate like
this there are plenty of volunteer opportunities to help save them. Go
