Feds investigate seal killing on Cape Cod - - Wicked Local - Cape Cod
"Shooting gray seals used to be a way of life. From 1888 to 1908 and from 1919 through 1962 Massachusetts paid a bounty of $1 to $5 per seal nose. Things turned around once the protection act was passed and the population of gray and harbor seals has been climbing.
“Monomoy (in Chatham) is phenomenal. I did a fly-over last year with a friend and took images – the band of seals was from the tip almost half-way up Monomoy, and like 15-seals wide. Someone told me there were 30,000 seals out there and 10,000 occupy the beaches,” Leach said."
