In principle I agree, but the problem around here (one of our main incomes is from fish) is that the increasing number of whales and seals is also hurting the amount of fish in the sea. So, the natural balance has been shifted by us long ago and now we have to control all parts to provide a sustainable population of both fish, whales and others.
