Had a "greenie" (environmentalist) in the shop yesterday. Started talking about the seals and her take was "how cute".
I started to explain that environmentalists complain about the high bacteria count from shorelined houses and close beaches because of it. I then explained that with the thousands of seals around, especially around Chatham (which is where she is from), imagine what the bacteria count is with that many seals in a small area and people are in the water nearby. Then explained that with that many seals, come the whites because of the food source. Then explained that if the whites are going that far north along the outer beaches, it won't belong for them to figure they have a shortcut through the canal into the bay for a summer residence.
Her response to this was "I never thought about it to that degree"
"Greenies", ya gotta love em
