There was a confirmed report in the Cape Cod Times (July 16 I think) of a shark (tentatively identified as a great white) taking a seal off of a Chatham beach.

Today, a friend of mine (very reliable) reported a shark taking a seal near Race Point, and another shark taking a seal a few yards (3rd wave) off of Coast Guard beach in the last day or so.

I'm wondering if the "tree huggers" and PETA types are going to wait until a shark injures or kills a swimmer or surfer before we can do something about the exploding seal populations on the northern cape and Monomoy?

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
