I think that we need to have commercial markets. I don't think the Canadian population nor the government have the stomach for a cull, although in other countries they do cull the animals, but we need to build the markets for meat and pelts. We can do that.
I think we need to have an annual quota that is going to exceed by a considerable amount the number of pups born each year. It was 50,000 on Sable Island.
By the way, there are other pupping areas; there's Scatarie Island, and there's Hay Island. We're now finding some islands in western Nova Scotia as well.
There are 50,000 on Sable Island, and that's not counting the gulf. You have to get the annual TAC above 50,000. It's probably up around 100,000, if you're going to reduce the herd.
