It seems that I dont word my posts in a way that make my point easily understood, so I will try this:
We are entering unknown territory as far as large seal populations. We do not know what an environmentally sustainable population is. We dont know what the impact of one million seals would be. No one wants seals eradicated but we also dont want to see them breed to level where they exhaust or exceed their food resources. Food resources that are not as abundant as they were historically. I read that seabirds are a favoured food of male seals, does that include the fledglings of endangered seabirds ? I dont know but it is likely.
