A small handful of PETA members and supporters turned out for a noon-hour anti-sealing campaign near Market Square. Some people held signs saying "stop the bloody seal slaughter", while a two others lay on the sidewalks dressed as seals covered in fake blood. Spokesperson Colleen Higgins tells CHSJ news the seal hunt may not go on near Saint John, but that doesn't means it's not a New Brunswick issue. She says the entire Canadian economy and reputation will benefit from the end of the East Coast seal hunt.
Saint John resident Drenna Duplessie used her lunch break to join the demonstration. She says she wanted to support the cause.
The animal rights group plans to continue their demonstrations across Canada until the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
