Are you of the government cull train of thought? No chance. Change everything as in enforced no swimming/no surfing. That's about it. And yes, I'm aware of the size and remoteness. It's a horrible tragedy. I feel for the loved ones. It's pretty creepy that this is the moment so many been looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Nathan Sears, Orleans Harbormaster, was indeed prophetic when he posted the following on his Facebook page in late August following the Longnook incident...….."it is time for beachgoers to change their behavior or something terrible is going to happen".

bob_G Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 The Cape Cod tourist industry will demand action. So here's where we stand. About 30,000 seals. Maybe a couple hundred GWs. Both federally protected. Seals are cute and cuddly. Sharks look and are mean. They eat tourists, seals don't. In the end it will be a lot easier to eliminate a couple hundred GWs. Trying to eliminate 30,000 seals would bring world-wide outcry. No one will care about the GWs after the media and state reps put their spin on it.

SkunkLuvver Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I was goofing around on google earth the other day and zoomed it in to Monomoy.. seemed like the entire beach was covered in seals. Not only are they GW magnets, I can only imagine the biomass they’re going through. (Not to mention the amount of seal ****) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldgoat Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 I think it's time to TELL THE FEDS we need to do something . We need to tell our SERVANTS to get rid of the grey seals. No if, and ,or buts! Anyone can sit on there plump ass and read a law ,but that is not enough. Up until the sixty's people where doers not talkers. People made things happen. Since the expansion of seals we have lost small bay fish and anything a seal can feed on. I won't get into the offshore fish loss. I have seen a beached great with stranded less than fifty feet from two of our grand daughters on the beach. South way (Chatham).Pulled off the sand by the harbormaster. If the public feels we need a few seals then I suggest they move them to Washington as there seems to be a lot of sharks down there. Yes I'm pissed.

But do you seriously believe anyone will sanction a seal hunt that will remove 30,000 seals in 2018? Before you keep saying the seals have to go, just think it through. Who's going to do the shooting. Any schnook with a deer rifle? What do you do with the seal carcasses? The media circus alone will be insane.

Remote controlled plane at night buzz cropping them with some sort of chemical that would kill them. That would work for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
