You need a lot of prayers, because this is what you're up against:
"Donna Wilcock stood knee-deep in the water on a sandbar as her 9-year-old daughter, Ashley, waded back to her through the small breakers. She had heard about the shark, but didn't tell her daughter.
''She would have felt sorry for the seal,'' she said. Wilcock summers in Chatham, but lives in Virginia and sometimes vacations in Florida where sharks and shark attacks are more common."

I don't think we need to worry about people getting eaten just yet. They will never get that hungry if they have a seal buffet out there. I think we'll need to worry if the spot attracts enough sharks that the seal population is affected. It is doubtful that it will though.
I would do anything to be out there and watch them chow down on the cute little seals.

numbskull, you said it.
like my friend in the landscape business, when people call him about their "skunk problem" with the lawn... he has to explain, no, not a skunk issue, you have a "grub problem"..
we don't have a shark problem... we have a seal problem... time to deal with it. (I hope!)

No great white has ever been hooked in the 19 years of the Martha's Vineyard shark fishing tournament, with more than 200 vessels participating each year.

great white stocking program
Can we petition the state to invest in a Great White stocking program. It could open up another tourism attraction and control the seal population, a two for one initiative...

Today on the Piscataqua River in New Hampshire was motoring back to my dock up in Dover. Asked wife if that was a big bird on the rock in the river. She said Yes. Got closer and asked if that was a 'Seal Bird?' Getting more and more seals taking up space around here also.
