Great, well written article that present a logical view of the seal problem. For too long now, the tree hugging environmentalist have had their way with protection of non-threatened species. Plovers and seals are two examples of this. I can see in the coming years a downturn in the tourism numbers (not that that would piss of the locals). How many seals can you look at and see cuteness? The points the author makes are striking in that he brings up other environmental issues such as the seal excrement causing fouled beaches and problems with the just now recovering cod stocks. Someone, somewhere has got to start listening.

Kudos and a well done to the author.

No boat, back in the suds.
