It seems like some here are much more knowledgeable than I am on the subject, so please forgive this stupid question:
If cod populations are endangered, wouldn't it make more sense to stop overfishing them, rather than clubbing their natural predators to death?
Secondly, even if it is 'necessary' to control the seal population - isn't there a more humane way to do it? I realize that there are other species around the world that carry with them the same problem, such as kangaroos in Australia. However, most if not all of these overpopulation problems are largely a result of human activity.
