I betcha that this Pearl creature is a huge fan of Peta as well... Would
explain some of the gross stupidity being uttered here, nothing but a bunch
of regurgitated garbage.


You're either in denial, or brainwashed by pro-sealing propaganda.

Best way to cure all those idiots over there who moon over pretty little
baby seals - GIVE THEM ONE!
Then you sit back and wait until the little precious grows into 600 pounds
of mean, nasty, fish slurping blubber. If I was in charge of the
government's PR campaign I'd start up a program to let brits adopt harp
seals. Just pay the shipping cost and we'll send you as many as you want!


Why? The proper, and best, place for these seals, is where they are
now. You'll be more than compensated for leaving seals alone, with
increased tourism and commerce revenue, not to mention goodwill.


You're in Ireland. Take a trip to the west coast and ask the fishermen
there what they think of seals. Go to Glengariff and take the tourist
sealwatching trip to Garnish (sp?) Island, ask the boatman how much he earns
from tourists in the summer season and how much he would earn from fishing
all year round if he were allowed to shoot those same seals.

Tourism pays minimum wages and it's seasonal. Few work in the sector by
choice.

Cheeri,
