Yes, I agree with you, but you can't manage the species either. We're basically in a finite system. You have to manage for the whole species. You can't manage polar bears if you're just going to manage for bears. You have to manage seals, ring seals--not harp seals, because you don't eat harp seals.
What I'm trying to say is that we just manage for finite little indicators and we have political interference that tells us that we manage for this, we manage for that, we manage for this. We've got special interest groups that dictate what we do, and we have all kinds of special interest groups in our system that say we need to manage for this.
I can give you one example, and maybe I'm picking on somebody, I don't know. Maybe I'm opening a can of worms, but we have hook and release of salmon, for instance. We manage for that. We can't police it. It's impossible to police. You can't police that. But we have hook and release of salmon, and salmon don't eat going upstream. They don't replenish their energy; once it's gone, it's gone. Yet we have to say we've got hook and release, saying that's the means, that's how we conserve salmon, by catching them and releasing them.
Now, if I catch something, I'm eating it. That's the people I represent. If we kill something, we eat it. I'm not killing anything that I'm not going to eat. It's simple.
