Bring back the nose bounty!!! Hell, instead of the town paying me per nose, I'd gladly pay them $5 per seal that I'm allowed to take out.

I wonder if they will start expanding their range beyond that area of the cape. I know that they will range all the way up to Canada, but I'm talking about numbers.

Video Landing Page - Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston


she gives the results

31 % feel the seal population is out of balance

61% say it's fine

6-8% say only if a confirmed shark attack



well that attack was confirmed I thought

Maybe they should re-take to poll after this story.

Seal Flu & Humans!

New flu strain in seals could pose risk to human health, experts say | Fox News

In 1996 a guy was bitten at Cold Storage Beach, bayside in North Truro. He was ridiculed as have being bitten by bluefish. His wounds were moast definately NOT bluefish bites. He decided to get s-faced in town and borrowed his buddy's car without asking. He was charced with car theft and OUI. Vacation from Hell!
In The Smithsonion hangs a Great White, huge fish, caught in 1911.
There have always been sharks there and there always will. If humans want to swim safely then they have to control the seal populations whic in my HO are way out of wack.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Shark taste test

Someone theorized that the shark was only doing a taste test.

Perhaps something like this: Shark taste test - YouTube

Some say that there's a fine line between a Surfcaster and some idiot just standing on the beach.
