There are way more people who think seals are cute than fishermen who despise them. Sad thing is it will take something tragic happening for people to feel otherwise.  |

Well the reality of that is, it would be someone getting too close to a seal, then its their own damn fault. |

I surfed probably 10 days this winter around seals.
They don't bother surfers. Sniff and poke, sure, scares the living %$%$%$%$ out of you.
But they're in their environment and they know we're slow clumsy critters in the water. |

The seals carcasses (sp?) that were found a few times down at Nauset never got much press. I wonder why that is ?
If (god forbid) a surfer was accidently bitten by a white,do you think the town officials would try to" sweep it under the rug" ?
