I'm not snotty. I'm 74 years old.
I most respectfully submit that nature is a beautiful thing to behold (look up that word also).
There are checks and balances in the system. If you remove one predator, another assumes the task.
One way or the other, another assumes the task (this could be a microbe, mammal or virus, etc).
Please forgive me my forthrightness; I meant no offense.
I understand nature and appreciate the checks and balances God has provided. But, this is not a case of checks and balances. This is a case of extreme cruelty to a helpless baby animal for no good reason.
No ecological function is served by killing these seals. This isn't "culling the herd" as some have suggested. The seal population has no need to be culled. This is a quick buck to be made by beating seal puppies to death. Nothing more.
I hate arguing with my elders. :0)
