@TheJeromemm The animal rights people aren't posting on this video because these native people live in an area where the killing of whales is absolutely necessary for their survival.
People protest the needless killing of whales by the Japanese who don't need them to survive.
If you want to Save any whales start with Oil rigs that will be on the North Slope this summer!!! Our ocean is very unpredictable, no one can predict what will happen when an oil spill happens there!!! They are the ones putting the Whales and any Marine life in danger. Not my people!!!
This is the way we live. We hunt, we take pride in what we do and we do our best at it. We do not judge you by the foods you eat or by the way you live. So why do it to us? We believe everything is sacred from the ground we walk on to the air we breath. We don't tell you guys to quit buying cars or burning other fossil fuels which you found on our land to begin with. We don't criticize you for eating plants or chickens or cows. Yet you kill them harshly and feed them with steroids fertilizers
The ocean is our FARM!! But we don't feed them with toxic SHIT! No need for antibiotic shots, no need for making them big, fat and healthy. We let nature take it's course. We love our ocean and it is means to survive. Our elders grew up on this and some don't have the taste for COW or whatever else you can buy from the store. Not to mention the EXTREME prices we have!
These larger numbers correspond to pre-whaling estimates, indicating this population has fully recovered. However, should climate change substantially shrink sea ice, they could be threatened by increased shipping traffic.
Researchers from the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences have been studying the whales feeding behavior in the Point Barrow area. The status of other populations is less well known. There were about 1,200 off West Greenland in 2006, while the Svalbard population may only number in the tens.
In March, 2008, Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans stated that previous estimates in the Eastern Arctic had undercounted, with a new estimate of 14,400 animals (r. 4,800–43,000).[16].
The bowhead population around Alaska has increased since commercial whaling ceased. Alaska Natives continue to kill small numbers in subsistence hunts each year. This level of killing (25–40 animals annually) is not expected to affect the population's recovery. The population off Alaska's coast (the "Bering-Chukchi-Beaufort stock") appears to be recovering and was about 10,500 animals as of 2001.
They look 100% Asian, because they are. Have we all forgotten that 'native', is a relative term. These folks, as well as all Amerindian's ( I know, there's some Polynesian blood in the south), from the top of Canada, to the tip of Chile - immigrated here via a land bridge. Mostly Mongolian blooded.
WTF... this people need to kill whales because its almost the only food they got!! this peole kill the whales to life not to make money of them.. get that in your head..!!!

Germany quits whaling in 1939! U.S. quits whaling in 1940! Argentina quits whaling in 1960! U.K. quits whaling in 1963! Holland quits whaling in 1964! New Zealand quits whaling in 1964!

The faroese kill Whales for sport, then eat some small portions of the corpses, and dump the rest in mass "graves" to rot in waste. The Inuits however eat ALL of the Whale and it represents more than 60% of their entire food intake. i wish the whole world could hold a public vote to see how many are against whaling or in favour.
Secondly, whaling should only be allowed to those who "need" it for survival...
@inuit222 Wikipedia is not known for being accurate by any means, The numbers come from the American Cetacean Society, NOAA, and Marine Bio, who have just upped their numbers to be between 8,000 and 12,000 whales world wide.
However, dont get your knickers in a bunch, I actually have no issues with you taking a few whales. I just get tired of the Whale wars fan boys trying to tell other nations that they cant hunt whales for food, when their own country allows whaling.
@inuit222 As for Wikipedia, if you check, you'd see that ALL info has to be backed up with genuine sources. All links are listed at the bottom of each Wikipedia page. Read Wikipedia policy: All info submitted is verified with references posted. So don't believe them when they say "Wikipedia can't be trusted". They're only half right. (The sources can be)
It's the fucking 21st century here. If stupid SSCS supporters can go around bitching about the Faroese and the Japanese, then this whaling should stop as well.
There are only 7500 Bowheads in the world. The Inuits take 75 a year, including pregnant females, That is a 1 percent attrition which is worse then the Faroese hunting which only affects 0.1% of the Pilot Whale population.
@hitmann2300 Our people live in balance with the whales. We take less than 1% annually. We cannot afford to eat store food and we continue in balance. Your value system should not dictate our diet or culture. This whaling will never stop, You have no idea - really - no idea how we live. Come up for just one year and see if you have the same views...
@NorthernMostTours Actually I know this and support you. However there are some American nutjobs, like info145 who are trying to stop Faroese whale hunting, which is done for exactly the same reasons you guys do it. Yet these whale wars idiots feel they are justified in telling other nations to stop whaling when their own nation allows it.
I have been to Barrow
I have no problem with the Japanese either, so long as the species is not being hunted to extinction, I see no issues with whaling.
@hitmann2300 if the species is not going extinct, i agree. We managed for millenia with them in balance - until New England whaling vessels commercially exploited the species... its been a slow steady comeback for them though.
@NorthernMostTours Pilot whales are in no danger of going extinct, and the Faroes hunts only take about 0.1% of their population yearly. With a mean average of about 700 whales, these whales are actually more part of the Dolphin family, being the second largest to Killer Whales.
So based on your comment, you agree with the Faroese pilot whale hunts! The Faroese use ALL of the pilot whale meat and the need it as they can not afford to live entirely on store bought food, just as the Inuits.
THE FAROESE AND INUITS CONTINUE WHALING FOR THE SAME REASONS, PRESERVATION OF CULTURE AND TO SUBSIDIZE THE COST OF STORE BOUGHT FOOD!
It's okay to hunt a few whales a year, specially since this people have no other resources. But I don't like how the Japanese use "research" scam to hunt hundreds of whales a year.
PEOPLE come first, and if they absolutely need to kill whales to eat for survival... then so be it. (Example: Check the laws. Only eskimo are allowed to eat Narwhal, which are a non-endangered cetacean).
Faroese do their killing as a game they call the Grindadrap!!! And if they really were doing it to sell as food, THAT IS ILLEGAL
@info145 so your some kind of eco warrior wannabe eh?..people DONT come first!! thats for starters cause if every single human disappeared right this second a thousand years from now the earth would not not only have flourished because of it but wouldnt even notice our disappearance so get off the self rightious jag!..people are shit and serve no purpose except when we shit on the ground and fertilize it or when we die and feed the worms who are ALSO more useful than us!
@info145 what on earth are you talking about?..im completely and totally against hunting and animal exploitation in ANY form..i think i made it pretty clear in my last comment to your response when you wrote quote"PEOPLE come first and if they absolutely need to kill whales to eat for survival then so be it" im trying to pinpoint what angle your coming from. we all know the inbred faroese kill for the fun and sport of it while the inupiaqs only take what they need but ALL OF IT is outdated!
These people are connected to their food, and clearly have respect for the animals they hunt. The sea is clearly their garden as the climate is too cold to grow vegetables.
I'm sure they used it all for survival and culture purposes. Which I cannot say the same for the Japanese, over fishing whales and Tuna Selfish no care in the world that is why we have Green Peace.
It is great to see how the whale is so appreciated by the entire community and how the hunt team puts on a get together!. I can only imagine a hard working way of life, but a great way of life no less. May the Lord smile on yalls hunts to come. Be safe, Jason
But its the way of life up here,north its alot more different then the south u would find out if ya come up this way but i dont think thats a good idea for u might freeze soo get over it.....its our tradition
Trust me people this isnt just one family that this whale will feed, it takes care of the whole village, passed out to friends family elders anyone in need will get some food off of this one whale!
@gvenema dumbass we live off our land and we've been doing so since before you were even born, ask them how far back in time they've been doing it and ask them how much of the whale they use... definetly 90-99% is used we use it all cause you might not know what you got till you need it!
@Kanibalec100 its closely watched and they ARE NOT put to waste we've lived off our land and have done so since before theyre was even a walmart or store where your from you tard!!!! back then if you wanted to go to the store you had to go out in the land and get your groceries bet you dont sit there crying when someones picking berrys or greens and trust me the whole whale is used one way or another this is our WAY OF LIFE!
@Kanibalec100 you have to be one of the most ignorent assholes on the web the whales will feed a whole community and it doesnt hurt the population so fuck off
hey all you inuits and people of the north dont pay no mind ignore these low life assholes!!! cause you know you people have something special! thats pride of the arctic! let one of those bums try to go up in minus -10 degreeze ah man they will shit their pants cry home to mama!!!! i love the cold ts paradise in my personal opinion and if it werent for the eskimoes. people all over the world woulnt be wearing one thing most important!!!! where its cold.PARKAS

2) Kill quickly and humanely.
3) Replenish.
4) Respect an animal's sanctuary!
