MONTREAL (CP) - The environmental group Greenpeace won't participate in the 
latest campaign against the Canadian seal hunt because it's focusing on more 
pressing concerns, says a spokesman. 
Greenpeace's name was notably absent from paid advertisements against the 
seal hunt that appeared last week in major newspapers including the New York 
Times. 
Steven Guilbault, Greenpeace's Quebec spokesman, said the environmental group 
will focus instead on issues such as genetically-modified foods and climate 
change. 
"People aren't talking about climate change, the ozone layer or GMOs," 
Guilbault said in a recent interview.
