Had a drive down with the family yesterday and was immediately confronted with the seal huggers trying Shepard people around the rocks. As much as tried to bite my tongue, I just couldn't do it. So after them stopping my little boy from going about his business, I decided to challange their actions, not only with the general public but sea anglers as well.
I pointed out that taking pictures/videos of people and putting them social media sites was out of order. They all tried to justify themselves and said they were making an example. I asked them what or who they were making an example of because as far as I could see they were making an example of people doing nothing wrong. They then said it was to monitor disturbance, to which I pointed out that boat loads of people as they do at seahouses is much more of a disturbance then a few people having a walk about or fishing. The bloke amongst them was getting more irritated with me lol.
I made a point of telling them that as much as they thought they had authority, they simply did not and that they would not be stopping me or my family having a stroll around the island as we've always done.
I would like to say that during this discussion, I did not raise my voice nor swear, I merely pointed out that their actions, although they mean well to a degree, were not in good taste, nor would they be tolerated by the vast majority.
Out of curiosity, they tried to tell me they were within their right putting up pictures and videos ? I'm sure someone on here questioned the police and it wasn't ?
