*The point pearl is that Mr. Lavigne is making a statement not
grounded in any science, much like the statement Mr. Reid
made.  You were critical of Mr. Reid's stance, but not of Mr.
Lavigne's.*

So, you bash any pro-sealer who makes a statement such as . .

"There is no doubt that seal predation on groundfish is impeding
the recovery of those stocks" (Gerry Reid)

but not when the IFAW does it . . .

"So culling harp seals might even boost the number of cod
predators" (David Lavigne)
