Protestors Protest against fishermen over calls for grey seal cull off Kerry

The protesters say a cull on the grey seal colony around Na Blascaodaí (The Blasket Islands) would be “unnecessary and barbaric.”  The inshore fishermen claim an “out of control” seal population is putting livelihoods at risk and are calling for a “seal management plan” to be put in place immediately.  >click to read< 10:27
