Interesting article about seals

[Bogertophis]

Yes, and it's quotes like these that make me pray no public funding EVER goes to whack jobs like this guy, "rare phenomenon that continues to baffle scientists such as Charles Littnan, who is now begging the endangered seals to “make better choices.” GMAFB!!!

If this article was intended as a scientific paper, I might agree with you, but it's written with a touch of humor for public enlightenment about an unusual phenomenon
that's being observed. I guess you're the only one who didn't find it enjoyable & interesting.
