Brit I think it has more to do with the numbers... Whales and Dolphins are not over-running places, nor are they putting a strain on local eco-systems. The number of seals we have in Canada at present are whiping out an already depleted fish stock also. We have banned fishing of some species of fish and control others in hopes to increase the stock but with the number of seals having almost doubled in the last 4 years it is impossible.

We could send some of the critters to the UK :)
