Former Smiths frontman Morrissey has refused to tour Canada as a protest to their seal culling exploits. He wrote on his website:
I fully realise that the absence of any Morrissey concerts in Canada is unlikely to bring the Canadian economy to its knees, but it is our small protest against this horrific slaughter – which is the largest slaughter of marine animal species found anywhere on the planet. The Canadian Prime Minister says the so-called ‘cull’ is economically and environmentally justified, but this is untrue.”
