[imunezombie]

seals are dumb sea dogs and they messup perfectly good fishing days,

native americans can do what ever they want..

forever-

For the sake of dogs I sure hope you never own one.

[imunezombie]

I have 4- and I never buy a fishing licence either

[buz13]

Actually they can't but they do have certain legal treaty rights which I support. No native people have been more poorly treated than Native Americans...but many have been treated as poorly...Australian Aboriginies for one.  Of course the seals have been here even longer...and I'm sure there were plenty of fish for both Native Americans and the seals before the Europeans arrived and destroyed the bounty....now everyone fights for the remaining fish.

you just wait a year or 3 when we have a world food shortage, (which everyone knows is comming), I'll be eating them next

Mothernature will show us all who's boss and rightfully so

There is not a general "good/bad" in this. But in this particular case laws were broken.

Responsible fishing is never bad....hey, I eat fish.

I suppose your point is that those who "defend" seals are the good guys and those who fish are "bad guys". though I hope not. Take a look at my video taken back when I commercial fished in Alaska. Regards.

Hi,

Some are for sure. But this incident was recorded by members of a group that all volunteer to spend hours scouting beaches in Seattle for harbor seal pups that are resting. These pups are at risk of being disturbed by people using the beaches and also a local boat ramp which the seal pups use as a resting spot. Barriers and signs is used to keep people away from resting pups.
