Leona Lewis protests against Namibian seal hunting
Leona Lewis has called government officials in Namibia to help put an end to seal hunting in the African country.
Recent reports show that there has been an increase in the vicious act across the nation and the Bleeding Love singer was devastated to learn about the excessive killings.
The strong animal rights campaigner has now released a statemtn urging the country's government ministers to investigate the matter, saying that the cruelty-free seal-watching inductry is actually more profitable for the Namibian economy.
She says: "No price would ever be high enough to justify the killing of these harmless animals. This country has so much natural beauty to offer tourists, why allow this brutal practice to tarnish its reputation forever?"
This isn't the first time that Lewis has used her star power to raise awareness about animal cruelty. In 2010 the vegetarian and World Society for the Protection of Aminals spokesperson visited a sanctuary in Romania, which houses abused bears.
