 Well I actually picked up a paper the other night and started reading it, then I came across an article that just  made me so upset, Caribbean monk seal is extinct, Human hunting for research, food and blubber has left the population unsustainable, there has not been a sighting since 1952, A biologist for NOAA's Fisheries said the species is the only seal to become extinct from human causes.

  My question is why were we hunting this seal for research and blubber, I can understand the food issue a little, not much but a little, but research and for the blubber thats just wrong IN MY OPINION,  why research? what could we possibly learn  by putting them through that, and blubber in products has been banned  from most countries for yrs, so why was there such a high demand? and why would we drive them to extnction? couldn't we have regulated ourselves? and the biggest question of all seems to be why does man have such a driven force to kill ? especially in the way they kill seals clubbing them to death. there is no sport in that its just awful. and my last question is why do we have to destroy so much, to have so little?

Species have been going extinct every year since the Cretacious extinction and you never hear about it. It's nature, the survival of the fittest.

The big contributor to this particular seal going out of business is due to the Hollywood left insisting on having their fur coats while they preach ecology 101 to you. The double-standard is still alive and well!

what bothers me so much is that it is the first seal population taken down by humans, and another disturbing thought is they're were working on eliminating 2 more species, the hawaiian monk and mediterranean monk seals, you would think they would let them repopulate to save their incomes at least, but I guess when their gone they'll move onto something else. No Mr Wild I have not seen that info, with all the stuff I have going on right its hard keeping up with all my researches right now, can I get info off the internet?

whats really bad is the united states hardly uses anything a seal can provide, we mostly outsource it to other countries.
