Woman offers $22m to end seal hunt

Woman offers $22m to end seal hunt :

"Despite protests by countless animal rights groups and celebrities including Canadian-born actress Pamela Anderson, French film legend Brigitte Bardot and former Beatle Paul McCartney, Ottawa authorised the cull of 325,000 seals this year.

So far, some 20,000 seals have been slaughtered this season. Today, the hunt moved from ice floes on the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to the shores of Newfoundland province in eastern Canada."

There are some big name campaigners on this one and Brigitte Bardot has given her mature life over to the protection of threatened species and ,in particular, seals. The money offered by the woman is more than they would make commercially from the dead seals. They think it is a one off. Of course people need time to change theri practices and businesses, as with the whale hunting, but come on, 22 million is a pretty good start. How else can the populations be managed if they are growing to large? Looking at a logical, animal husbandry response to that seems to be a bit too hard. Why?
