A break from politics here.

Truro is on Cape Cod near Provincetown. This happened on east side of the Cape facing the Ocean.

The white shark tagging slightly south of this location at Chatham has stopped for the season , and obviously there are a few whites still around and probably will be around all winter.

This is clear footage of a recent attack on a seal by a white shark, so close to the shore the mortally wounded seal makes it ashore only to bleed to death. That means the white shark will have to find another meal.

Kudos to the person who shot this clear and well balanced footage, and for being in the right place at the right time. -Tom

Reminder, Leftists: critters eating critters - alive - is normal.

Boy, tough to be a seal in waters where Great Whites like to swim.

I flew in a small plane over Monomy a couple of years ago south of Chatham and the sand was filled wall to wall with seals, this wass just one small segment:

Tough to be dinner.

I have been in that water (Head of the Meadow Beach) many times...years ago. Not anymore.

My old stomping grounds...looks gruesome but you should see the carnage when the Tuna are running off the tip of the Cape. I have seen it many times while going for Tuna...It would blow your mind,between the tuna eating feeder fish and sharks eating tuna...it’s crazy.I believe they are on part of the National seashore property...some of the best land on the Cape.

The day boats and commercial fishermen are cheering.

The seals are a nuisance to them.

A grey seal, in other words a "seal of color," mortally wounded by a white shark?

Obviously a racially motivated attack.

There was a thread yesterday about a dog turned over for adoption who thought it was just a day out.

It’s one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen on FR.

I don’t have the guts to go back to the thread.

I’d really like to think that things turned out well for this dog.

I think if it hasn’t, I’d adopt it myself.
