Managing the population through hunting is a tool that I beleive should be used.
Wholesale eradication, including gasing pups in the den and poisoning is something I do not support. That goes for death by sponge as well.. . . .


Sal, I may be a bit of a hypocrit as I do support management (by thinning the numbers, not eradication) of seals and sealions where they are causing problems, ie Bonneville Dam, Ballard locks, Westport harbor. . . . .

No, I guess I am not since I support the same with wolves, both species need to be managed in some way, smartly and humanely.
