Mention the words "seal hunt" and a dozen organizations just like this one will pop up:

Grey Seal Conservation Society

The great grey seal debate really has to come down to two choices,,,

large caliber handguns or high powered rifles.

Can't we all just get along and decide?

Seriously, I can't even tell you how happy this makes me. Like many other people, I have been talking about how this day would come for 6-8 years now, and to actually see the pictures of it going down is just awesome.

I can only hope assume that once a large group of these sharks realizes that there is an annual all you can eat seal buffet up here, that they'll be back time and time again to put the smack down on our pinniped friends.

Anyone who wants to start the seal killing boat tour...sign me up for your first tour.

I know people get all giddy over the poor little seals being eaten, but you would likely need 100 sharks feeding 24/7/365 to even put a small dent in the seal population. They're here to stay unless an open season ensues at some point.

Yes, but the status quo, a continually increasing seal population with no coverage / adverse coverage other than the cute little seals, is not going to do us any favors. If we can't fish the beach as in the p[ast maybe maybe the great whites can offer entertainment in the form of Pinniped Snacks. Or, with a little luck, some light gets shined on the situation. All in all, the seals are likely there to stay in large numbers REGARDLESS of what happens thanks to the Marine Mammal Protection Act thingamajig
