WHICH
COMPANIES ARE INVOLVED?
There are
many companies that SELL and DISTRIBUTE Canadian seafood products
to the American companies that BUY them.
(see our American seafood VENDOR
section for a list of who's BUYING the seafood).
Please contact these companies and let them know that you are boycotting Canadian seafood until the commercial seal hunt is banned forever.

Information on specific
companies:
 One
of the largest fish processors is Independent Fish Harvesters, Inc.,
owned by a group of fishermen.
This company, located in Brigus, sells frozen cooked snow crabs mostly
to the Carolinas, Florida, and the West Coast of the U.S. They sell
to such distributors as Beaver Street (Jacksonville, FL), which markets
snow crabs under the label "Sea Best" and World Catch (Seattle, WA),
which sells snow crabs in 2 lb. boxes. They also sell to grocers such
as Publix, which sell them under their own store brands. Sometimes
they also sell to Singleton, a subsidiary of ConAgra based in Florida.
Another large seafood processor is Fishery Products International.
They sell cooked, frozen cold-water shrimp, sometimes breaded.
They are sold frozen in 1, 2, or 5 lb. bags and labeled FPI. In addition
to exporting to the U.S., they sell these shrimp in the U.K. at such
stores as Marks and Spence.
Another company called Notre Dame Seafoods, Inc., located in
Twillingate (tel. 709-884-1260) sells cold-water shrimp to a distributor
with offices in Los Angeles and Seattle, Washington. They intend to
increase distribution to the U.S. next year. Check for Notre Dame
Seafoods or NDS on shrimp packages.
IF
YOU REPRESENT ONE OF THESE BRANDS WE ARE BOYCOTTING AND WANT TO GET
OFF THIS LIST, we can help you...
It's
easy to GET OFF OUR BOYCOTT TARGET LIST! All we ask is that you
write a letter to both the DFO and your local politician in charge,
stating that you OPPOSE the seal hunt and are concerned about your
company's well being, (and the future of all Canadian fishermen),
if the boycott continues.
If you do that, we will be happy to not only take you OFF the above
boycott list, but will highlight your company's corrected position
on opposing the seal hunt, thereby improving your public image!
