By a seal? Or fisherman? Maybe that is 46 seals taken out.....

Isn't it ironic that they (the tree-hugging, animal-all-cute-n-cuddly types won't think twice about closing beaches because of a bird that is destined forextinction, and seals that are already polluting the beaches with their feces and leftover scraps.

Here's an interesting hypothesus: the number of seals increase each year, yet they are a "protected species".
We see more and more Great White sharks each year, and they are "protected" as well.
What would the environmental Einsteins do when the sharks really start to do a number on the seals? Since they are both "protected species", they can't do a damn thing! They cannot, and I repeat THEY CANNOT do anything to interfere with the natural activities of predator and prey.

Let's pray for a good shark year!


I wonder.....would these same "nature freaks" be as concerned if there were a rare species of tick, mosquito or biting fly discovered on a worldwide travel destination?

Bottom line is that the seals vs human battle will only get worse as the seals take over more beaches as they breed more and more.

I will be on the cape next week, trying to avoid the seals and cacthing a few fish, hopefully? The fishing has not been the same here now for a number of years. Last year saw seals in places I hadn't seen them before. One day I swear two followed me along the beach for some distance, finally got tired of that and headed back to the house. Put in your time and you can still find a few bass from time to time.
