The following link is to a very comprehensive site that has an in-depth report on the link between Pinnipeds (harbour seals) and salmon depletion. Obviously, the actions of local fishers who simply wish to kill off their so-called competition will have more wide-spread ramifications than they can ever imagine. Yet another example of the warped power of mankind manipulating other species for the good of the greedy few.

Perhaps Einstein said it best: "All complex problems have one simple solution; however, it happens to be completely wrong."
