World of Warcraft at Ten Ton Hammer

Saturday April 11th at 1pm EST, the animal rights activist group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), will be making its way into World of Warcraft to host an event on the Whisperwind server to host an event aimed at gaining support against Canadian seal slaughter. The event's premise is that Thrall, has refused to ban seal slaughter. Alliance dogs, er...I mean players, will be called upon to defeat the seal slaughtering horde that will be hunting the seals in the Howling Fjord, Northrend.

The fight against the Canadian seal slaughter has gone digital!

That's right, gamers, get ready: This Saturday, World of Warcraft (WoW) players will have the opportunity to combat a team of four Horde seal killers. We need your help to stop them from bashing in the heads of any more seals!

Thrall refused to ban the slaughter of seals, despite multiple requests from the Alliance to do so, because Orgrimmar stands to make a large profit from the fur.

Activists from across the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor are banding together to put a stop to the atrocious seal slaughter. Anyone who slaughters baby seals for their fur must surely be in service to the evil Lich King.

Here's what you need to know in order to battle:

• You must be in the WhisperWind realm in order to fight. Visit WorldofWarcraft.com if you need information about how to switch into this realm.
• Once in the WhisperWind realm, go to Northrend, where you will find a zone called Howling Fjord, where the baby seals live on glaciers and boats float in the fjords. This will be the battleground to stop the slaughter. (Note: You must be at least a Level 70 player in order to enter Howling Fjord.)
• The battle will take place on Saturday, April 11, at 1 p.m. EST.
