Some blame the exploding seal population for the drastic reduction in Cod stocks.


Seal hunters for sure ;-)

There are lots of reasons why the fish are in decline, not the least
of which is how many we are eating. If we are competing with the seals
for a dwindling resource, we have a decision to make.

Paul Erlich (The Population Bomb) predicted a lot of the things we are
seeing today. His only problem was that he predicted they would have
happened a few decades ago and he was forgotten. At a certain point we
need to recognize pollution, decline of sea life, scarcity of potable
water and even the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere is the direct result
of 6 billion people eating, breathing and ****ting.
