Seal overpopulation must be addressed to minimize shark attacks
We will soon be coming upon the third anniversary of the tragic and bloody death of 26-year-old Arthur Medici by a voracious and menacing great white shark off the shore of Cape Cod.
Since that vicious attack, it has become more clear than ever that most Cape Cod residents are demanding a long-term solution to the growing killer shark problem, which is exasperated by the seal overpopulation problem. Residents demand it be dealt with in the most serious manner possible.
I again call for our respective elected officials on the federal, state and local levels to immediately begin the long arduous process of trying to amend the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act so that at some point in the years ahead we will have the ability to effectively cull the huge unnatural overpopulation of seals here on Cape Cod.
This is the only realistic long-term solution to getting a handle on our great white shark problem itself.
The so-called experts keep bellyaching about how this whole quagmire is a natural occurrence. Well, that is not only mistaken, it is a bald-faced lie. Great white sharks have killed and maimed people because they are drawn here by the excessive seal population, which in turn was allowed to happen because our government created the Marine Mammal Protection Act which artificially caused said unnatural seal population explosion.
If our elected officials continue to do nothing but pay lip service to this important matter, then they will indeed have blood on their hands if another human is massacred yet again by a killer shark off the shores of our beloved Cape Cod.
Scientists, bureaucrats and animal rights activists apparently believe that shark lives matter, but I am here to tell them that human lives matter more!
