And especially if there is a significant decrease in the herd's numbers . Would we consider having such a disruption in our maternity wards ? Ever since the collapse of the cod fishery on the east coast, I lack faith in our ability to ensure survival of healthy species populations. We just don't know all that we need to - so we have to be extremely vigilant in our protection of animal habitat, especially of the calving grounds.
