Ellen DeGeneres has increasingly become an ally to animals, and now she has posted a plea on her show’s website for viewers to help her end the seal hunt in Canada.

Ellen DeGeneres 对动物权益的拥护与日俱增。最近她在自己节目的官网上发表了一个呼吁贴，希望大家和她一起呼吁停止加拿大的海豹捕杀。

“Seal hunting is one of the most atrocious and inhumane acts against animals allowed by any government. Canada is allowing the slaughter of a record number of seals in their 2011 hunting season, which is going on right now. The seals are often younger than 3 months old. The Canadian government set the quota for the 2011 seal-hunting season at 468,200 seals”.

“捕杀海豹是经政府批准的最残忍、最非人道的虐待动物的行为之一。加拿大正批准2011捕杀期捕杀明文规定数量的海豹，并且捕杀已经开始。被捕杀的海豹很多年龄不到3个月大。加拿大政府2011年海豹捕杀期既定的海豹捕杀数量为468,200只。”

DeGeneres then continued, “This has to stop. To my friends and fans in Canada: please help put a stop to this. Follow the link below to make a donation and send the message that killing innocent animals is wrong. Thank you for your support. Click here!”

DeGeneres 继续说到：“这种行动必须停止。希望我在加拿大的朋友和粉丝帮助阻止这个捕杀行动。根据下面的链接进行捐款，并发送一条信息---残杀无辜的动物是不道德的。谢谢你们的支持。点击这里吧！”

Currently the Canadian government sanctions the killing of baby harp seals, where their skin is harvested for its fur and use in fashion.

当今加拿大政府准许捕杀格陵兰海豹幼仔，将它们的皮毛用于皮草时装。

The link takes you to PETA’s website, where they’ve coined the slogan “Stop Seal Hunting in Canada Now.” Donations are accepted on the website, and close to $45, 000 has already been contributed.

上面的链接是PETA（善待动物同盟）的网页，他们已制定了“立刻停止捕杀加拿大海豹”的标语。网页可在线捐款，目前捐款已达到将近45,000美元。
