getting to know thy enemy

I figured I would research a bit on the seals that keep mugging us on the seashore.

there are some informative sites.

here is a paragraph I found interesting

"Only five significant horsehead breeding rookeries survive in all of North America, and all come under Canadian jurisdiction. They are on Amet, Camp, and Hut Islands along the coasts of Nova Scotia; on offshore Sable Island; and on the pack ice that gathers in the Northumberland Straight. the later site seems to be a new development, the result of desperate efforts by seals that once bred on islands off the west Cape Breton coast to find a whelping place that will not be turned into a charnel yard by the Conservation and Protection Branch.A recent rookery on Deadsman Island in the Magdalen archipelago has now been virtually exterminated. There is a relic breeding population of grey seals in the Muskeget Island area near Cape Cod, but only eleven pups have been recorded since 1964."

this whole site has their history but it's long. They speak of the $5 bounty and then the $10 bounty. http://www.greyseal.net/ABOUT/history.htm


Unfortunately, it seems like we have to put up with them because according to alot of people that put animals interests ahead of humans, they are and may continue to be protected.

I am really getting tired of catching fish for the seals, I catch them for myself not them. Surfcasting on Cape Cod is dying an ugly death And the horrible part is that the acceleration of that death in the past 3-4 years is very surprising Between the plovers, the seals and the mung caused by that outflow pipe, the Capes' economy will once again suffer Only the richest of the richest will be left to enjoy their pallacial palaces on the cliffs, us peasants must suffer and complain

So instead of spending my time making plugs to feed the seals with and reading internet fishing reports and actually fishing, my spare time will be spent more writing to legislatures because I am disgusted. I think I will start with trying to get the federal funding that keeps plovers on the endangered list stopped. Then onto the seals, then to the outflow mung. .............

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
