The seal population on the Cape is way of our control. They're eating all of our fish and now they're eating all of our children,' said resident Gail Sluis of Brewster.
Hyperbole doesn't help her case. First fatal attack in 80 years in Massachusetts. Something like 9 non-shark related drownings on the Cape this year alone. You go in the ocean, you take a risk. You put on a wet suit and fins and go 30 yards out and float among the seals, the risk certainly goes up. You drive down rte 3 from Boston then out to Wellfleet on a summer day, you really take a risk.
