I am jealous of the sharks.
though this will probably just concentrate the vermin a little tighter

Is this what you were thinking of...Great White Shark Trips--Chatham / Monomoy Island

I think they forgot to include the picture of the brave seal posted by Karl F resubmitted here.

:biglaugh:

30MM cannons would be very effective!

10, possibly 20 now
 

Sharks extend their visit in Chatham | CapeCodOnline.com


and most likely, here to stay....

Now there are ten to twenty: They do check the internet.
Seriously I have always wondered how fish know where the bait is.

:fishin: would that be awesome to catch one from the beach

Lets see which Federally protected species do we kill...
Maybe this will be the on the agenda of a Town Hall meeting, once the losses in beach revenue are counted. I believe if the sharks keep people off the beaches they may be the first to go. I may be cynical but I think its going to take big losses in tourist dollars to get some one to figure a way to "thin the herd" with the seals and not freak out the treehuggers. Does anyone know if they still pupped on Monomoy now that its attached? We may need more Coyotes too.

They won't do a damn thing until somebody gets attacked, and then it will be the sharks that get shot!
Like Blitz, I've been telling people this for quite some time now, and now it's finally happening.
Next will be the "scavenger" sharks like tigers and bulls, and then we'll really have a fish free-for-all in our local waters.

Maybe when the communities lose their shirts due to a sharp drop in tourism $$, they might think about the correct humane thing to do.... like explosive fish for the seals:splat:

Unfortunately the typical "powers-that-be" is to do a quick fix. That would mean get rid of the sharks. It's cheaper to get rid of up to 20 sharks that 6000 seals.

I say let the sharks have their fun and if we can help them in any way, so be it!

:rotf2:

really now...

town hall would never decide on which FEDERALLY Protected species to kill...

they will do a lot of long winded talking about it...maybe... at some point, have several "study groups" of retiree's with nothing better to do, with little or no expertise in such matters...hold "meetings" invite State and Federal folks, who will basically say... these species are protected... our hands, as well as your hands are tied, there is little or nothing that can be done...

Sound At All Familiar????

kinda like the bullchit we have been going through with the poster child of Federally Protected Species?? the Great Lakes Piping Plover, et al?.... and last but not "Least".. (only in name) ... the Least Tern??

Town Hall's can't even run themselves right down here..... they ain't gonna tangle with Fed protected species.....:uhuh:

I lived on the west coast for a little bit. Here is how it goes.
Sharks and seals stay.
People can't use the beach.
Maybe as we slide into being a third world nation lawless abandon will take over and anything goes, the earthy crunchy people will lose their clout. Machetes and louisville sluggers on the beach. . . . oh well it's nice to dream.:wall:

Think into next year when there's major beach closures and the already low numbers get even lower for local business.Plovers,sharks,and seal poo closures will surely drown the cape in the future.Sad and nothing can be done about it.I have no solid info about the numbers mentioned previously but the numbers everywhere are down.

cool

I would totally pay to see a great white attack a seal, somebody do this!

Mention the words "seal hunt" and a dozen organizations just like this one will pop up:

Grey Seal Conservation Society

The great grey seal debate really has to come down to two choices,,,

large caliber handguns or high powered rifles.

Can't we all just get along and decide?
