FLYERS & CARDS
Different organizations offer a myriad of choices:

1) Available NOW for distribution: (or as a pdf file for self printing projects): Our Canadian seafood boycott flyer. Get and distribute these high-impact leaflets with photographs of happy and dying seals, and succinct text summarizing the plight of the seals and the strategy for ending the slaughter.

3) Available as a pdf file: For self printing projects, our FIRST COLOR FLYER summarizing the Canadian seal hunt and the SEAFOOD BOYCOTT as a key strategy for ending it.

Our production run was 15,000 pieces and we distributed every one of them to seal kill opponents all across the world.

"Stop the Seal Hunt" generic webpage flyer... open, print, copy, distribute Click on the link, (MAKE SURE AND SET YOUR MONITOR RESOLUTION TO 800X600 pixels), and print out the webpage on your home printer.

4) E-Z PRINT WEBPAGE TO PRINT OUT
Printing a prepared "webpage flyer" is the "poor man's solution" for producing material available for mass distribution. All you have to do is open our webpage on your browser (or make one of your own using the text and photos found on our website), PRINT IT OUT ON YOUR OWN PRINTER, then hit up your neighborhood Kinkos or copy centers and duplicate ad infinitum...

You can go color or black and white; its up to you, your printer capabilities, and your budget. Armed with these quality informational flyers, you can "paper the area" with seal facts and info on how to help.

Printing notes:
1) Although our webpage is designed to fit on standard 8 1/2" x 14" piece of paper, due to different settings on different computers using different browsers, you may end up having to do some creative "cutting and pasting" to make the page look good enough to print out on your own machine and then copy. (It's possible you may end up having to print it out on a LONGER peice of paper, adjust your printer margins, trim and tape, etc.)

PRINT ADS

Pet Gazette Advertisement for Harpseals.org: Sized at 5 X 7½ " download it To save, right click on pdf logo and "save as" to your desktop, or, just doubleclick to open.

1) Heart wrencher...
This ad was run in the Pet Gazette. It was graciously DONATED by the animal lovers at the Pet Gazzette in Los Angeles. (Brought to our attention by our tireless Harpseals.org volunteers Sue and Sam Hirsch with design work donated by Gary Kleinman!)

It's a bit of a heartbreaker, simple, to the point, and effective to suit a variety of purposes.

Because it's small and black and white, its perfect for mass "papering" of an area or as an economical giveway at an outreach event of your choosing...
