Looking at the value of and the requirement for protein worldwide, what is wrong; what is going on in the world community; what's wrong with us; what's wrong with you; what's wrong with the government when we have a product...? You talked about animal welfare. I'd like you to indicate what's going to happen if we do nothing and the population has exploded as you have indicated? What's going to happen to the seal population itself? Generally things happen if there are too many animals. There will be disease within the herd itself. We have a pretty small harvest at the moment.
I also believe that seals are among the biggest, if not the biggest, consumers of fish in the world today. Looking at the value of protein worldwide—and I'd like to give you some time to answer this—what's going to take place? I'd just like you expand on that and on what we need to do here.
Obviously we're on the wrong track. Either the government is on the wrong track or you're on the wrong track. We have a bunch of people who can put erroneous pictures out worldwide, pictures of things that haven't happened for years and years. You're hurt and I'm hurt as a citizen of this country because of what's going on. I'd like you to take some time to give a general observation of what direction....
I agree that people are too handy to hunt. If your nose is right up where they're doing the shooting of the seal, that's not safe. We do need to do something.
I'd like you to expand a bit on what I have said, understanding that the seal is one of the biggest if not the biggest consumer of fish in the world, and the value and the need for protein in the world today.
