Britain orders 5000 seals slain off Orkney by Norwegian hunters
In a controversial move Britain authorized Norwegian hunters to kill 4000 seal pups and 1000 breeding adults off Orkney to curb what officials say is a rising seal population. Greenpeace followed by chartered trawler aimed to disrupt the hunt as M.P. Tom Dalyell urged the European Parliament to demand scientific proof and an independent count of seals and their fish consumption.
