Icy Battleground

paper, 167 pages

Book Description
Icy Battleground is the first comprehensive account of the forty-year political controversy over the seal hunt. With a forward by the Honourable John Crosbie, it traces the rise of the anti-sealing protests, the emergence of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), its vigorous and unrelenting campaign to end commercial sealing, and its strategies in mobilising pressure in Canada and abroad. Icy Battleground also assesses the Canadian government's counter-strategies to continue the hunt as well as the challenges that emotionally targeted campaigns like the seal hunt pose for government decision-makers.
