Montreal — 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. "Our role is to work on 
issues that are particularly urgent."
