During the fifteenth century in Western Europe, traditional ways of life began to break down due to new industries that were taking a predominant role over agriculture, and this created a social not- so-pleasant peasant upheaval. The Catholic Church, in an attempt to gain a monopoly over the people's spiritual belief, created a scape-goat to blame these problems on, and pronounced a solution; they began to label people of different spiritual beliefs as witches, and enjoyed burning them at the stake. .

The people of Europe believed what the church was telling them, and so they went along with it all, oddly enough... Thank God the church has lost the immense power that in history it previously held.

Today we have a new problem to deal with, and a new scape-goat to direct the blame towards - or perhaps we should instead say, re-direct the blame. The cod fishing industry has been broken and breaking down for a long while now, and

each winter the Canadian gov- ernment sends out troops of men armed with extreme bravery, clubs, guns, and sharpened steel hooks.

These brave knights protect our fisheries from the vicious flippers of the harp- seals. With fangs the size of large finger- nails, the terrible, horrible seals swim angri- ly around in

, the cold water without looking where they're going, spitting all over the clean ocean floor, and eating mainly the fish that prey upon the depleted cod

stocks. When they finish, they lay vicious-

migration, or the marine ecosystem in general, to lay blame on the seals for the cod shortage.

Department of Fisheries and Oceans has stumbled and crashed into a wall of over-

ly on the ice-floes and bark

like monstrous little water-

puppies, as the majority

of them are only babies

and are not yet fully grown. -Just as the Church put

_ the blame on "heretics",

fishing with the use of gill-nets, and the cod has been found to be suffering as a result. Gill-nets are nets which are anchored to the sea bed and used to rake in various types of fish in very large quanti- ties at one time.

our new-age church - the Asia has been importing ery of government - has put the seals penises to be used as the blame for the aphrodisiacs, but with the inven- depleted cod-stocks tion of Viagra the seal cocks are on the seals, even in less demand.

though there is not enough information about seal diet (the cod-fish however, makes up only 1.3%), environmen- tal change, cod

Asia has been importing many of the seals penises to be used as aphrodisi- acs, but with the invention of Viagra the seal cocks are in less demand. Also, both Europe and the US have refused to pur- chase any "seal goods" from Canada, and any such purchases are considered illegal. One of the nicest things about the hunt is that seals often escape injured, or are left for a time on the ice in a violent spasm after being shot, clubbed, or hooked. Video surveillance has caught such acts on tape, and even evidence of seals being skinned alive.
