Despite some of the worst ice conditions on record and massive numbers of drowned seals, the Canadian government has shamelessly okayed the slaughter of 468,200 seals this year. In response, a dozen celebrity chefs from Bravo's "Top Chef All Stars" are boycotting Canadian seafood to save seals.

Series winner Richard Blais, runner-up Mike Isabella, and fan favorite Carla Hall are among the chefs who have joined the Protect Seals campaign. Please help them save seals.
