New group calls for seal and sea lion cull on B.C.’s coast

[IronNoggin]

Members of the Tsawwassen First Nation are teaming up with commercial and sport-fishers on B.C.’s coast to call on the new federal fisheries minister to allow a West Coast seal and sea lion harvest. The group, called the Pacific Balance Pinnipeds Society, says that growing populations of seals and sea lions endangers future salmon populations.

Of course the Global reporter got the population numbers all wrong, and the anti's at Ocean Wise have started their bleating already.
But, this is an initiative that is long overdue IMHO, and I will support it any and every way I can...

Cheers,

This group is for real. I contacted Ken Pearce and they're serious about getting this done and First Nations support. Hopefully they get the support of Minister Wilkinson.
