You're in Ireland. Take a trip to the west coast and ask the fishermen there what they think of seals. Go to Glengariff and take the tourist sealwatching trip to Garnish (sp?) Island, ask the boatman how much he earns from tourists in the summer season and how much he would earn from fishing all year round if he were allowed to shoot those same seals. Tourism pays minimum wages and it's seasonal. Few work in the sector by choice. Cheeri, -- >> derek.moody@clara.net
