        To cull or not to cull=20
        Review: Little evidence killing seals helps cod


        By MICHAEL MACDONALD The Canadian Press

  I usually check these out first with Ian McLaren, but this time I will =
leave it to him to correct my diagnosis if I am wrong.


  I have a lot to say about this proposed "experiment" that the federal =
Fisheries and Oceans Department wants to conduct in the Gulf of St. =
Lawrence, but for now I will just say that I'm happy to hear the recent =
comments of well-known scientists like Bob Fournier, Hal Whitehead, =
Boris Worm, et al., and now the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat =
(apparently a branch of the Fisheries department??). =20


  Many scientists and environmentalists and animal rights advocates are =
speaking out that this proposed cull is not scientifically based at all, =
but is purely political, catering to a loud lobby of fishermen and =
sealers.  And calling the cull an "experiment" is truly the height of =
folly, claiming to be testing some hypothesis (preposterous).


  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
