According to a letter from the Embassy of the Russian Federation to European Animal Welfare, they did not organise any hunting/ killing of baby seals in 2004.

This is OFFICIAL and really GOOD NEWS for all friends of the seal pups.

Let us hope it will be the same again in 2005, - whatever the official reasons given.
