Sewid has literally nothing to do with what is happening.
As you may recall, he was fired with prejudice from the PBPS Board quite some time ago.
He does however continue his rants on Facebook on a daily basis.
Thankfully their blocking mechanism works rather well.
The information that formed the basis of the IFMP submitted to DFO has been presented here and elsewhere. Largely based upon the work of Dr. Carl Walters and his fine associates. Not hard to find, and something I am not prepared to regurgitate here again as a consequence.
A "cull" was never asked for, nor was it given much in the way of consideration.
A HARVEST is what was proposed.
Several FN groups have always had the right to harvest these animals.
And several of those have been thus engaged.
No need for them to beg for permission, nor for anyone to "approve" what is already their defined "right".
Samples have been collected, and are being tested for contaminant presence & levels. Stay tuned on that one...
What is awaiting approval is a larger scale harvest, perhaps not limited to FN's only.
That is what DFO is currently twisting in the wind about...
Cheers,
