Osprey I would like to know if you could define a "real criminal" for the board. I agree with you that murder and child molestation are horrible crimes that deserve extreme punishments. To just "forget" about every other law or "not worry about it" is absolutely absurd.
What about white collar criminals that pollute our rivers and oceans. They are not guilty of vicious crimes, but in my opinion they should also receive severe penalties.
Lastly, the reason we must now manage just about every species minus ourselves, is because we have thrown off the natural balance of the eco-system. Now, without human intervention, chaos will occur ( mass starvation, disease, etc.) Species management is not just to "get rid" of an unwanted species.

To Bobber down:
It is is an interesting scheme that you have devised to eradicate seals. I am curious however if you are the same type of person whom one second you are complaining about the Native Americans and their "damn gillnets" then you go and buy fish from them, as well as your drums. I talked with a gentleman several weeks ago that had a similar view. He was complaining about The "indians getting to fish Columbia river springers, when he couldn't" ( because of ESA). Then he said that he was planning to go buy some roe from the Native Am. guys selling fish at the dam. Seems ironic to me.
