Well, obviously the recommendation of the Senate standing committee was to cull 70,000 grey seals four years ago. Without having the benefit of further science, I'm sure that number of 70,000 is now outdated and needs to be much higher as the population has grown. I think we need to immediately shift our focus on to reviving markets. Part of that is having adequate regulations around how the hunt is observed.
Quite frankly, it's very hard to comprehend even a good seal kill when the person has no attachment with doing it. I think we need to stop erroneous observation and messaging around the seal hunt, get down to third party validation, recover our markets, and start to achieve our quotas annually.
