  • are there different dialects of the Irish language?

  • English, please!

  • the people do it to survive and in no way do they affect the migrations and life of whales as a whole. they take only what is needed.

    its the whalers who hunt so you dirty whores can put lipstick on your dick sucking lips that are the real problem.

  • check out this video. Working Man's Hunting Show - Episode 1

  • There is the figure of the sea shepherd nowhere.

    Why will not there be the SS?

  • the way of killing is noobish, just cut the head off ffs :s

  • This is so disgusting. Their illegal hunts are not for "sustenance". A quarter of whale kills are traded for profit through a stupid private company.

  • @PWOKristy It's almost as if Inuit need to trade. Here I thought they had everything, ice...er...water, let me think...actually, now that I mention it, they need to buy almost everything.

    You're a fucking nazi, what you're doing is like spitting on a man in a wheelchair for not walking.

    I love how the company is "stupid" if it's private, want to know why it's private? Because the international community would rather see these people starve.

  • lol whatever, melt away fuckers. the sea will swallow you whole.

  • all those fucking vegetarians can go fuck themselves! inuit niqingit mamaktuumata. Inuit, Inupiaq and yupik. and FUCK YOU welcomegohome!! i'll eat your dog and cat... RAW!! Biatch! haha!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • God you're fucking stupid

  • Aye; abundant oceans full of glaciers! my foot's an abundant ocean!

  • Way to go inuits......... Fuck the animal rights faggots....... feed your families.

  • Too right Kp947 and Enseni - coz seriously, these guys HAVE to grab whatever food they can get. And just coz the army comissions u with a platinum-class bow and tells u to kill a deer dont mean ur tough.

    u can waltz to walmart or eat wild berries or rob a poultry farm, but these blokes cant.

    respect is everything. remember that.

  • Way true man. Inuit deserve to hunt both culturally and sustainably.

  • what language is he speaking?

  • driveuhappy777 you are a freaking idiot there is a difference from useing a traditionalbow to hunt deer and trying to kill a 40 ton whale

  • there is nothing traditional about these guys. see the huge boat and gun, use a hand thrown harpoon and row you wimps, you are naitive nothing, im comanche and only hunt with bow, you have lost your skills, learn the stealth of the hunt, discover your lost culture or just farm meat

  • I guess you can get off the computer then since they're not traditional Comanche tools nor inventions.

  • i would have to say youre right...we use handthrown harpoons and oar out to the whales in our traditions seal skin boats...the inupiaq are the last real people.

  • Actually, the inuits and eskimos not just eat these animals. Almost every piece of the animal will be used as clothes, oil etc.

    This is absolutely acceptable killing.

  • Its just tradition, like kuukan says, humans have been eating any types of meats since the first humans started to spread around the world, anytype, then just because some veggies started this thing, "we eat animals".

  • If they properly use the seal, responsibly, take what they need, respectfully, then it's living off the land so to say. I think I'm ok with that. I really hope the kill is instant and painless though. For instance, the seal hunting carnage slaughter frenzy in Canada is most definitely not humane or ethical.

  • The inuits and others near arctic inhabitants live frozen wastelands, with little vegetation. What else are they supposed to eat. Kill the whales and seals!

  • Icelandic Barbarians...

  • youtube. com/watch?v=fjSlOOYIkCE

  • You dont know anything about greenland! Dont say anything. You ignorants...

  • surrounded by abundant oceans and still they find excuses for their barbarism.

    There are plenty of alternatives...and firing a high explosive into the body of an animal is not "culture" or tradition....it's just brutality.

  • then what else do they eat? They've been eating this type of meat for THOUSANDS of years, that's tradition.

    Is eating juicy BBQ tradition for some states in the US? YEAH. I <3 BBQ, that's tradition, even if we drill knobs in to the cow's head before we cut it's throat.

  • Nice shot Need Meat?

  • bizarre whale haahahhaha

  • its a seal not a ******* whale god

  • do they eat seals or its just hunt 4 fun ??

  • they eat it, and it tastes quite good

  • It is sad, that the word whale hunting has been posted on this, it's not whalehunting. Whalehunting is subsistence hunting, what you see is sealhunting. There's a big difference.

  • a whale hunting is seen on the clip the big harpoon canon was loaded. but humpbacks are not hunted due to their status as endanged species. there fore they didn't shoot. greenlanders are only allowed to hunt finwhales and minky whales and they are both limited amount

  • Kill vegans and eat them raw and uncooked! Their Buns have the best meat

  • Anyone here who ever ate whale meat know what's the closest thing it tastes to?

  • To some other commentators:

    Some of you guys will never understand that Killing and Culture are 2 different matters, and means 2 different things! What should be called a culture is already decided back into the Roman Empire.

    And there is a big difference between "What something is" or "What puny humans decided it to be".

    Thing like a whale hunting is nothing different from killing. Some of you are saying is what you call a culture is just something you alone stand for.

  • It's their food resource wanker!

  • Ah, just ate a meal of whale meat. It was great. I am from a whale hunting family. And proud of it, of course. Killing whales for food is no worse than breeding/killing any other animal for food. In fact, it is better, because the whales are not put in cages alle their lives before they are killed.

  • Extinction is normal. If the whales go extinct then the people who rely on them need to change their way of life.

  • I hate ILLEGAL whale POACHERS. They are ANIMALISTIC. They DISGUST me. To Wild Wisc, whatever, stupid. To "Thumper", we are not "bitches". What you are is an ass though. To "Musher", ILLEGAL killings of Endangered animals is NOT so-called "culture". And life is NOT "built around death". You're just a weird, kinda sickening, MORBID boy.

  • I am sorry you cant understand this basic concept of life. It is not morbid- it is just fact. Life is built on death. A plant or animal must die for us to live. We can't live on air alone.

  • very well said. thnx

  • "Animalistic" Humans are animals.Did you forget? But, what wild animals poach anyway? Poaching is a human mental construct- wild animals wouldn't understand the concept

  • For your information: inuits don't hunt whales that are threatened by extinction. And if you want to shout at someone, shout at norwegians or the japanese, they have plenty of other natural food resources, inuits haven't!

  • Comment removed

  • greenlanders do not hunt humpbacks, they hunt only a limited amount of finwhales and mikywhales allowed by the international whaling comission. i hunt humpbacks, but from a kayak with a cameara not a gun. you should come and touch the humpbacks with me as a guide:)

  • Great, you photograph Humpbacks. I look forward to going on a Kayak trip to Enzenada (Sea Of Cortez). If I could join you, I'll let you guide, you know a lot more about them than I do. I visited Greenland in 1992, chasing Russian subs...

  • The beef you buy at the store has a much larger and far worse impact on the enviornment and native animals. Stop buying beef. Raise your own chickens, hunt your own food. Grow your own veggies. Buy locally.

  • Full respect to the Greenlanders. They manage to survive in one of the most inhospitable places on the plant.

  • The Greenland natives are savage as f@#! leave them alone you environmentalist pussies,go eat some granola you hippie bitches!!!!!!

  • We're not hippy just because we think animals deserve respect and a humane death. Grow up and save your vulgar trash talk for someone who's less educated or immature like yourself.

  • humane death as cancer, heart attack and aids?

  • You're way off.

  • I'm with musher323. Leave the Greenlanders alone. Have you been there? There are less than 50,000 Greenlanders, its not like they are to blame. If all the whale hunters of the past used a kayak like the Greenland inuit did, maybe it would have been a fair fight for the whale. Clearly the inuit should be allowed to do what they have done for generations. You do...

  • Whales need help n o w. Their future will be decided by the end of may.

    Therefore please go to

    Take Action / Stand up & be counted

    Thank you

  • I refuse to take a major food source out of the mouth of one of the last subsistence native cultures on the planet. Quit imposing your sense of morality on other cultures!

  • the end of may? what are they all in a cult? They drinkin punch?

  • Why are there so few whales in todays world? Not because of a few Greenlanders needing food. It's because in the 1800's Americans lit their homes with Whale oil. Ships from Nantucket searched the oceans looking for whales. Records indicate thousands and thousands of whales being killed by ships from the eastern seaboard. Only when the supply started drying up did we start lighting our homes with other energy sources. Greenlanders didn't make the Whale endangered- we did.

  • If we can't even resolve the issues with our own native cultures why should we go messing around with the Greenlanders?

  • The Plains Indians compromised. Look where they ended up. We created a culture that is dependent on hand-outs. After they compromised we still slaughtered the Buffalo just to insult them. Now we have too many Buffalo roaming around Yellowstone Park and government agents kill them when they roam out of the park and onto Montana rachers soil. Meanwhile native Americans are sitting around looking for something to do and waiting on their government checks.

  • Before you criticize this culture- I suggest you examine your own. Even if you are a vegan- you have participated in the destruction of wildlife. Think of how many animals were killed when your city or suburb was built! Life is built around death- the Inuit understand this- many of us in western cultures have no clue about or respect for the true natural order of things.

  • I undrestand your point, that's why I support finantially organizations that deal and represent my conservation/environmental views. I agree, most western cultures don't care and just destroy for proffit

  • The Inuit live above the Arctic Circle were its too cold to grow crops. So, their main food comes from the sea. There are few restaurants in Greenland- and few stores (most are over priced and poorly stocked)so the majority of people lead a subsistence lifestyle- which they've done for thousands of years. If they overhunted the animals- they'd die. They don't waste- they use all of the animal.

  • I visited Greenland and Iceland in the mid-90's. Absolutely breathtaking, it was cold but beautiful. But, maybe there is an alternative to killing whales, the facts is the majority of the people are not going to agree with killing whales, we should be able to reach a compromise, everything is negotiable, except death. Thanks for the cordial dialogue. I respect the culture and their sacrifices.

  • Traditional Cultures are always forced to compromise and accept our ever changing whimsical values. Look at he Buffalo & Wolf in the USA, at one time we nearly wiped out both of those species, then our "values" changed and we sought to bring them back. Now in the western USA many are trying to restrict them again.

    Why should a subsistence culture in another country be forced to compromise to our ever changing trends in political correctness?

  • omg thats disgusting

    fuck you

  • When emotion goes up, intellect goes down. Every one of these videos that are posted in order to show how some people treat, hunt, kills, torture or otherwise remove life, succeed in doing one thing - making people upset. Look at all of you who do nothing but complain and cast hate around. What good are you if all you're doing is spreading anger and hate? Keep the emotion down and put your mind to work on alternative solution.

  • a mans gotta eat. Still. Would you rather them live in the cold and have nothing to give to their family, or make an honest wage? Yea they killed a seal. Okay. They need to to survive. They arent killing just to kill. It's their way of life.

  • Beautifully done video. The Greenland Inuit are one of the last hold-outs to westernized culture. It is a beautiful but brutal country they call home. I have nothing but respect for these hardy people.

  • Hear hear, I've lived up there for 2 years, and never met any kind of people that are so respectfull towards nature then the inuits.

  • ah, the traditional Inuit rifle. Isn't it great how 'tradition' has become little more than a tool in defense of a cultures 'right to survive.' Such crap. If you want to hunt, then hunt, and be willing to deal with the consequences. Maybe one day, these hunters will become the hunted... not THAT is something I'd like to see on YouTube!

  • the white man has killed many of them most live off the ocean because of lack of help from the goverments they live in and also where can they grow too much snow falls there and ice not to mention rock beds so they hunt one of the first tribes in the world lived threw the ice age

  • 'Whites' are not necessarily somebody to point a finger at when it comes to inefficient use of slaughtered sea life. Take a look into the Shark industry, specifically Shark Fins. I saw a program where Asian fishermen had hooked sharks, and cut their fins off, then through the live body back into the ocean. The video was of the shark dying to the end. That's cruel and a waste. Inuit and Northern people tend to waste less because of the effort to get it in the first place. Scarcity.

  • they tend to waste less because they repesct the animals and are not killing off in record numbers you even pointed out that they use rifles now white man came up with that not them atleast other northern tribes should be allowed to do what they do and given those rights that they have been doing for years way before there ever was white ppls laws

  • This is illegal...this is absolutly awafull u shud b ashamed...whales are beautifull!! i cant bilive this

  • would a panther let go nicole kidmann for her beauty or make sure to cover its nutritional needs?

  • Great point! If only we could just ignore the vegetarian types and eat freely. Let them eat carrots while WE eat real food. Go whalers!

  • Inuits are great hunters from mexico who are also experts at rolling burritos

  • mouniaaaaaaaaa gamisi kai xulo thelete

  • Oh jeez....I suppose we gotta stop killing cows here soon too huh?

  • I'd love to shoot the hunters with that harpoon, fucking wasters.

  • fuck you all

  • TIMMY!

  • TIMMY!

  • a mans gotta eat.

  • the meat looks very tasty

  • ah dirty destructive whites

  • they're not white, they're inuit, idiot. read the friggin' title.

  • are inuit ppl??lol

  • You're all just a bunch of ignorants

  • :(!!

    i hate you!

  • TIMMY!

  • fuck them and fuck the irish tosser who thinks hes a big man!

  • Human lie is more important than any animal.

  • Hey genius, the Inuit people of northern Greenland are iced in for most of the year. That means, they can only get supplies once a year when an MSC ship is lead by an ice breaker up there. Except for that once a year, they have to live off of the land and sea. That includes hunting whales, seals, and whatever else they can get. It is a matter of survival for them and they are economical in the way they use the parts of the mammals.

  • Oh yes, that wonderful tradition of high-powered explosive harpoon technology, how perfectly quaint. Just because something claims to be "traditional" only a half-wit would therefore conclude that it is above criticism. This is not legitimate economic activity, it's greed, albeit less large-scale than what we witness this winter from Japan. Here in Britain, bear and bull-baiting and cock fighting were once "traditional". But we don't do that any more becuause we are attempting to move on.

  • Exactly, we had slavery all over the Western world, and we stopped because it was barbaric. If they're so supportive of "tradition", then people like CoolioMasta and RedBalor shouldn't mind if the US government makes all the resident Canadians and Japanese slaves and sells them to Southern cotton plantation owners.

  • On this film an animal is killed, in much the same way as millions are killed in slaughterhouses all over the world! The main difference is that the animals in Greenland live free until they are killed, and not reared in cages. Traditional KAYAKING thrives in Greenland. Maybe if the Brits and Americans modified their big fat lifestyles these wild arctic animals would stand more of a chance, because regulated hunting in Greenland does not endanger them, WE DO.

  • Last time I checked, the USA and the UK weren't killing arctic marine mammals for sport or body parts (except by native people, which totally sucks and I oppose). Anyhow, I can't really speak for my country because I didn't vote for Bush and I'm vegetarian and support animal rights organizations as well as the environmental movement. Don't say "we", say "I", because you clearly are the one endorsing the slaughter, not me.

  • The USA and UK kill and eat the animals available, as do the Inuit. The Greenlanders don't kill whales or anything else for sport, but food. They treat them with respect as animals. I fully support the rights of native peoples to harvest their resources responsibly, and yes, I eat meat.

  • Seriously, these people have been hunting whales for tens of thousands of years, whale's near extinction came in the 19th and 20th centuries when Europeans industrialisation brought needs of candles, soap, whatever, out of their fat. Now you're telling Inuits to stop hunting them cos you Europeans almost extinguish them?? Gimme a break.

  • Do you WANT them to go extinct?? They're still all endangered.

  • No, I don't. But you're barking on the wrong tree. Inuit's traditional hunting won't extinguish whales, it's commercial whaling. And then came the question of which whale species to hunt too, not all of them endangered, limited whaling can be done on some species.

  • Most European countries and the USA STOPPED whaling, while Inuits, Japan, Norway and Iceland still do. I think that shows who's less civilized in the end.

  • You still haven't answered the argument, it is traditional whaling we're talking about here. But in the end, the fact is we need to see whales as animals, resources, managed to the outcome of mankind's advantage. Sustainable or not is a matter of debate, facts and/or politics, but I certainly wouldn't be in the "cos they're cute and cuddly" camp of thinking.

  • We DON'T need to see whales as resources for human exploitation. Humans are animals too, did you know that? The fact is we need to see people like you as enemies of nature.

  • If you do some research, you will see that while cetaceans have a smaller brain to body mass ratio, most of them have larger brains still, and those brains are further developed than primate brains. By the way, I'm not one of those people whalers call "hypocrites" who eats big macs while saying this. I'm a vegetarian and whaling has no place in the 21st century.

  • They may have bigger brains than you and me, but what's the point in that? You think of them as your brothers and sisters? I don't get it. Vegetarian is good, it's a choice, I respect that, I prefer meat for my protein intake but if you prefer...soy, who am I to refuse you? And by the way, NOBODY should eat big macs, we all should agree on that!

  • there is an irish teacher in greenland. he used to be a vegetarian, he had to stop being that to have a healthy live

  • Why? Because they are cute and cuddly? Anything on this earth is a resource, whale can be a source of food for some culture and if it's not for another culture that's cool too, but it is a resource just like anything else. We don't need bling bling diamonds anyway but shit, everyone wants them!

    And humans are not animals, if you think you are that's okay, I'm flexible. But I like to think of myself higher than monkeys with sticks, considering what we are able to do.

  • Humans ARE in the kingdom Animalia. You are not higher than monkeys with sticks, because you cause more damage to the environment and cause more extinctions than any other species on the planet! I suppose you respect cannibals too.

  • Yes we are higher than them, we have power over this world than anything, to destroy it or to save it, so I'm glad to say I'm not an animal. You think if we all go back to the Stone Age the world would be a better place? No. So stop your utopian daydreaming. Now that we are advanced enough to deny any extinction of animal species, we should do it! But by forcing everyone to be a vegetarian to achieve that is a wrong medicine pushed by the wrong people, people like you.

  • I'm not saying that whales are my siblings; only a single individual is my sibling. I'm saying that any being that's more intelligent than us deserves better than to be harpooned and electrocuted for 30 minutes! By the way, do you know how slowly whales grow and give birth?

  • No being is more intelligent than us! If they were, those whales would have created a giant spaceship to transport them out of this mess! The way you see yourself and position yourself in relation to other beings is either naive or stupid beyond comprehension. And I know whales, don't patronise me about whale facts or any other animals. I have dogs, my grandparents own a big farm in Northland, my family was in the Bay of Plenty when those Pilot whales, around 20, beached themselves.

  • Intelligence doesn't mean technology and manipulation of the environment, dumbass. Go to Hell you piece of shit. You're no saver of whales if you support murdering them. By the way, how does having dogs make you knowledgable about whales?

  • Hahah, what an eloquent saviour for the worthiest cause of the day, saving whales, more problems in this world needs more enthusiasm like this and where do we get them? On whale issues, from all places. And how your smaller than cetaceans brain failed to see the context of my comment and resort to a dog-whale reduction. For a human, you sure are not much more clever then your "siblings" with sticks.

  • Yes it does, this earth and all the resources in it, humans are the user as well as the guardian of it all, it's our duty to manage them, for the best interest of mankind, present AND future.

  • I'm sure you know what happened in New Zealand less than a month ago, if you call yourself a saver or whales.I helped, my whole family, and we felt good when about 2 that we were focusing on managed to free themselves. But do not, EVER, mix up who we are and what they are. Your intention might be good but you know less about who you are to even think about anyone or anything else.

  • homo sapien is an animal,maybe people living in big cities are homo civilian/suburbian? a degeneration from homo sapien?

  • Thanks for the information concerning the type of whales you are allowed to hunt. I understand, meat ir part of well balanced diet. I respect quotas!

  • Not actually. Not all the whales are endangered animals.

  • Small one! Better throw it back I think it's under the limit.

  • stupid get a life

  • assholes how would you feel to be stabbed i hate you

  • Unless any of the posters here are Inuit, you can't say shit about what is or isn't their culture. If there are disagreements over the methods used to hunt, that is between themselves. How many of you are crackers?

  • Agree.

  • once they gone they gone,,,, who's next.....

  • inuits are sick cunts

  • inuits mean human/people so if you are a human you are also sick

  • thankyou for clearing that up

  • the way these assholes killed the seal, shocking,, i hope they die in the same way

  • What do you mean? They did everything so that it didn't suffer. Its much worse how they kill the pigs and cows you eat for dinner

  • go fuck yourself, raven, inuits have practiced this for hundreds of years, I don't see the fucking whale extinct.

    HELL YEAH AT ABOVE COMMENT!

  • but this is not a traditional inuit wale hunting this is just killing. this has nothing to do with an inuit culture anymore

  • And what do you know about inuit culture? Did it look like he was using a top modern sniper rifle to kill it ? No he used the kind of rifles they have been using for many years.

  • the power of the rifle killed it.. the hammer was to secure it was dead so there would be no problem with the seal on the ship

  • Why are you replying to me? I'm a inuit myself, I live in Qaqortoq. I'm on your side!

  • kukkullungajuna ilinnut allassimasunga "marisa82"-mut allakkaluarama

  • hi i am a "inuit" what the fuck do you mean about inuit culture.. hunting is our nations way of livin. some country have steal producktion or some like that our country runs of money earn of hunting and fishing. and people need food on table to live.. we live of hunting.. hate it or love, we dont care

  • 87fuckingf...It's obvious that you are one the Dumb Inuits, bacause hunting whale from a boat, is not part of the inuit culture. #2, your comment about "Don't care" is ignorant and pointless. We conservationist regularly reach compromises with hunters. Adjust to society or become a "dying breed".

  • its there way of life for god sake man they lived threw the ice age there entire lifes are about fishing for animals and living off the ocean white man killed hunderds of them and now the can only hunt one to three whales a year for each tribe white mans laws not theres also they use every part of the animal nothing wasted unlike white ppl who waste everything

  • Interesting spin to put on this. Obviously I didn't consider what happened a hundred years ago and how it affects the present. The waste comparisons are a little biased though. Do you mean North American whites, Scandinavian or European Whites. As long as these animals are hunted for consumption and not cash, I'm good with it. I don't like this practice in our own culture either.

  • Whale = the chicken of the sea!!! PS: that seal was just asking for it.

  • You guys need to get closer to our side of the fence(protect animals/conserve/respect the environment) otherwise, you'll become a dying breed. The move its strong, we got big bucks,bigger cojones and are ready to wage the fight. The world is smaller, no longer can you kill animals just because youd Dad raised you that way, don't cry foul when we crush you and all those who only care about today.The troglodites and vikings died, only those that compromised survived."Victoria Ventus Fortis".

  • Your people have been oppressed for hundreds of years. The jokes on you beaner!!!!

  • "beaner, I do love beans. Oppressed!!! What? I have traveled to almost 3/4 of our planet, but I'm oppressed? We are talking about Whales!!! Not oppression, if you fill oppressed, see a therapist.

  • Your what's wrong with the world; why don't you go and start another war you socially bankrupt cunthead.

  • You must have spent alot of time on ships- because roughly 3/4 of our planet is ocean.

  • Yes indeed, big ships, small cities painted gray, I' sure you have seen them before

  • i've tryed to eat pure vegetables and ended up having no energy.the local fish and seamammals are essential for me to manage in the arctic. in countrys where they have good condition for argiculture they have no problems to live only by vegetables.

    get educated before you make a stand.

  • go to greenland and ask for an umiak, the traditionalboat where they used to hunt whales from. and go on a whale safari.

  • It's their food, traditional and nescassery

  • Look at some fucking statistics then you sadistic bastard.

  • GUESS IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW 1 A-HOLE!!!!!

    keep hunting and whaling!!!!!!!!

  • should we feel sorry for those assholes?
