In the above post we want to kill the kids and this one we want to save the seals. We really got our priorties straight ;-)
Yeah, we have to many seals. Still any self respecting hunter or fisherman would be against shooting them, especially with a .22. Even if shooting seals was legal. It would be against the law to shoot them with a .22 caliber, just like deer.
I question the deaths of these seals. Where is the proof, any dead bodies? It would take a well placed shot to kill a seal with a .22 caliber. A shot from a rocking boat through blubber and maybe water. Most likely these seals were wounded and they swam off. To suffer in silence, a slow and painful death :-(
