    Best, Steven.
    Best spearheaded a pivotal postcard campaign in the United Kingdom in 1983-4 while he was working with the IFAW. Cards showing a man swinging a bat at a baby seal "Boycot Canadian Fish..." were sent to 5.5 million homes. (Hencke 1985:163) Some grocery store executives started to receive IFAW-IRA postcards!

    The IFAW let Best go because of his overbearing attitude. He then came to Canada and started working for I Kare Wildlife Coalition.

    Davis. IFAW.
    In 1984 the IFAW sent boycott postcards to 7.5 million American households. "Davis made history by generating public pressure which influenced a major legislative body...the implications of this for the future of wildlife managment was staggering. Scientific assessment of animal populations can never mean as much to the general public as repetition of the claims that the animals are taken in a cruel manner. Not only the manner of taking but the fact of taking becomes an issue easily promoted by an anti-fur protest movement." (Hencke 1985:173)

    DFAIT promotes public awareness of the seal hunt on the international front."
