'Newfoundland hunters kill about 245,000 seals, .. which brings in an
estimated $12 million in revenues from pelts, meat, and oil.'

Scottish ministers consider seal cull
Monday July 16, 2001
The Guardian
..
Cara Brydson, a marine campaigner with the International Fund
for Animal Welfare, said a seal cull would be cruel and counter-
productive. Ms Brydson said seals preyed on fish which ate other
fish so a drop in the number of seals could also result in a drop in
the number of fish.

She added that a cull would devastate seal-watching trips in Britain,
which generate around �36m in tourism revenue each year.
