When we look at the rest of the world and then Norway and those countries, obviously they harvest a lot more fish than we do because they keep their seal population down naturally. However, no, I don't believe it. I believe that's a myth. I think that's an excuse that's used by animal rights activists, and it's certainly far from the truth.
We have a responsibility to protect fish stocks, and if harvesting seals is part of that and of giving us a balanced ecosystem, then how can anybody argue with that? We're not going to be wasteful. We're just trying to do what's right in our ecosystem.
If we don't, then we're going to go the other way and have our stock decimated, and for what, because somebody just doesn't like the fact that we're harvesting a mammal out of the ocean? It's our God-given right and ability to do this and to manage the stock in this manner.
