Solutions have the first picture of Richard Dean Anderson on the ice floes in Canada’s Gulf of St Lawrence where he is supporting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in their action against the annual Canadian seal hunt.
Anderson has been on the Sea Shepherd board of directors since 2002 but filming commitments have prevented him from joining them on the ice in previous years. On Sunday he flew out to the ice floes by helicopter and, despite having a broken ankle, spent the afternoon being photographed with harp seal pups to publicise Sea Shepherd’s fight against the slaughter. According to figures from the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans 365,971 harp seals were killed in the 2004 hunt, although environmental groups believe the true figure is far higher.
After his time in the Gulf of St Lawrence, Anderson then returned to Charlottetown where he is currently giving a press conference.
We have another great picture to follow and hope to bring you RDA’s statement on the seal hunt very soon.
