Hi Jim & All,            Apr 8, 2008
    The author, probably working under unrealistic deadlines, may have 
mixed seals but at least he got the message straight. It is refreshing 
to read something about seal hunting that makes sense.

    From an environmental viewpoint, the seal hunt is about as close to 
an ideal economic activity as can be expected. But environmental 
organizations, to their eventual detriment, have tended to sabotage the 
industry, portray the participants in unflattering terms or remain 
silent. You can fool some of the people...
