No one questions that seal and shark numbers are on the rise, mostly due to federal protections. It’s estimated there are as many as 50,000 grey seals in New England waters plus a lesser number of harbor seals. The animals were almost eliminated through hunting and bounties decades ago.

Thank you, Friend, for posting this thread. 90 minutes had gone by after two consecutive blog-pimp posts by the same newbie pimp, and I was getting worried that he’d broken FR’s post-a-thread system.

Now I’m ready to get passionate about seals.

Wait,... what?

Mammal, red meat, so how do they taste?
Similar to whale? (Had some in Japan, delicious.)
Hide good for anything?

I’m in the hunt them back to manageable numbers camp.

Shoot the seals and the sharks. Problem solved.

You can add wolves, cougars, and grizzle bears to that list.

They think they have problems...

Same old story. Some people can’t stand a little competition.

Here in Puget Sound they worry about the starving orcas, but do nothing about the seals that camp out at all the choke points eating salmon. They take one or two bites out of each fish and kill them.

Of course it’s all the fault of fishermen and their terrible overfishing.
