Narwhale hunting - A Boy Among Polar Bears - BBC

[KeyAd920]

Fuck you and community let The Wales live.

[TheWastelander2120]

Hunting and eating for survival is completely natural. No matter what religion you believe in or don't have any beliefs whatsoever, you will go out to kill and eat something. Animals do that too. Its a crucial part of the ecosystem. Stop being hypocrites.

I'd like to see the Sea Shepherds going all butthurt over this. If the Inuits have no other food to eat cuz the SS stop them form whaling and they end up in a crisis, you know who to blame...

[fro0tyl0opy87]

@ 3:32 the boy is thinking "Do I really have to eat this?!!!" Great vid. Amazing to think how other people live and should make us realise how wasteful we are.

[Eshadow33]

I love how ignorant people are! In this area catching something to eat is life or death! They harvest everything compared to what we waste every day!

[Charles113r]

@Eshadow33 it aint shit stupid, they can easily go to montreal & bum around on welfare, never eat meat in their life. These days they live mostly on junk food anyway.

[Algonquin81]

Will everyone leave the Bible out of it. The bible is full of shit anyways. The Inuit need the meat, they respect the animal, and waste nothing

[Markson117]

Paulfbest, your facts are not straight, you need to read up more on the bible, I'm Inuit and christian. and how dear you judge my people for how we live and there is nothing wrong for us to continue to value our culture. and if you are christian well the the hell are you judging people for there believes? if people believe in God in whatever way they believe, well let it be. if people don't well they don't. the christian bible I read teaches me to respect and to accept, and not to judge others

[HugoTheSavant]

These people are hunter-gatherers and live in the same way they have been going about for thousands of years. What happens whenever others attempt to modernize them? They end up culturally destroyed and helpless, and turn to substance abuse and suicide, as is the case with many other hunter-gathering communities that have been taken away from their traditional ways. All you tree-hugging hippies should go stuff a sock in it - it is cruel to hate on the Inuit for their traditional hunting.

[TheGmanfresh]

@Paulfbest fuck you, have you ever talked to god? No. So you can't talk about what god likes or dislikes.

[72SGMAN]

City folks go to McDonalds-These dudes go to mother nature. Let me tell you that the environmental costs of running to and idling in the drive-thru @ McDonalds far outweigh these dudes having a whale sandwich. AND it's not like they have french fry,soft drink,and whale sandwich wrappers littering up the arctic. City folks need to wake the fuck up, quit preaching from their pigeon-shit-stained-pedestal and take a better look at what they can do to be more like these people and less reliant on A&P

[OstrichRidingDude]

1:06-1:26 Did u hear that all u animal activists and PETA workers?

[paulfbest]

eskimos = chinese uneducated thugs,,living off God's blessed planet., Wish all esikomos would go away extinct like the polar bear.

Eskimos are godless.

[cowboyfromkettins]

@paulfbest how do you work that out? and polar bears are not extinct.

[HELacey]

@cowboyfromkettins because he is highly educated and lives in a suburban city where he was raised with wonderful values and views of life. :)

[cowboyfromkettins]

@HELacey I figured as much lol

[WELLBRAN]

@paulfbest well if that is the case you would not exist as everyone was a hunter long ago, your ancestors were the animals killed each other to eat and man was just one of those animals and he did the best he could to survive.

[paulfbest]

@WELLBRAN

You R atheist and you reallly really believe this KOOKY idea, like Billions others like you atheist.

God never ever ever ever intended for mankind to kill any animal,nor eat meat. Lets get our facts straight.

*Jews sacrificed animals for sin*,..thats ONLY because God needed a way for wicked jews to feel a better conscience..God never ever ever mankind to ever get soooo filthy as to need sacrifices.

Mankind, what dopes

[WELLBRAN]

@paulfbest so why were the disciples all fishermen then? 

[paulfbest]

@WELLBRAN

Look at my comment page on my channel, I just wrote to a blogger about this. It is OK for mankind to eat fish. BUT fish grown by farm raise, not natural stocks. Look at my post on my channel I explain all there. God is about to anihilate all men who abuse God's great Holy earth.

Am I clear.

Fish is OK to eat, but not wild stock.

Wild shrimp I eat in moderation, some wild fish I eat in moderation. IDEALLY no wild fish should be taken until after Messiah returns to rule.

[McStrubberz]

@paulfbest Ok then where do you get your evidence to support that.

[lontong00]

@paulfbest

Paul you are really embarrassing your self with your comments, I believe in GOD but please do not to over fanatics on your religion...religion is killing people .

[didymau]

@paulfbest LOL im sorry but your a christian and your questioning an athiest? I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. "Get our facts straight"? . All the Bible is is a load of shit

[TeodoroRyan]

@didymau fuck you dont make fun of other religions

[lontong00]

@didymau .

There is nothing Bible does to you so if you had problem with Paul just go straight to him ( Does Bible hurt you feeling or your families members or your love one ? ) n I understand about Paul's comments...he is over fanatic about his religion or whatever....I believe in GOD n God exist but God never create any religion in the world..human using that to had a power among them .

[TeodoroRyan]

@paulfbest fuck you dont make fun of other religions

[greatwhite1222]

@paulfbest well do u want these people to go to a corner store....they do this to eat because .man needs food to kinda survive....im just saying that im sure its ok for them to eat narwhale because if they didnt then about all the northern tribal areas would be wipped out because of no food

[wes98002]

my sibling live in alaska and were eskimo and we rarely eat seal or whale but it sure as hell is good thats for sure

[Flyfisherman1962]

I see that 7 persons "dont like it" what they see.

Vegetarians?

Greenfu**ers?

LET those people have their way of live, and if you (hopefully not) would come to us then you would see that WHALES are a MUST for us to SURVIVE!!

We cant go to a "SHOP", Market, CAllitwhatyoudamnwanttocallit

[heathheath90]

That looks so good

[turtleguy923]

This is what we need... none of that "I'm gonna sit here, drink my beer, get fat and throw half my food away."

[gpgpgp13322]

@turtleguy923 too right

[dirthead87]

What geographical line do you start calling them Inuits. lol How do you know some hunters are not from the Pas, Manitoba visiting or have camps? Makes me lol when this is seen all over the world and people think natives live like this. Only the hardcores do this! It's like weekend hunters and people visting cottages for the weekend but eventually go home! The hardcores go home and back to reality!

[live0day]

allowed?

it's their land , the corporations distroy the nature everywere and we tolerate it

[ECWnWWF]

Just like their ancestors they busted a cap on the Whale? I thought this was going to be informative...this is turning out to be a joke.

[AlexOvie8jr]

@ECWnWWF our ancestors never used guns. only the rich men who traded their wives with white people on ships

[cossintan1]

I'm into conservation and have no major quarrel with this. As long as the animals are hunted for subsistence, are hunted sustainably, and are not an endangered species it's all right. It is the wanton, systematic, industrialized slaughter of animals which leads to animals becoming extinct. If all animals were hunted this way (with no waste) the planet would be much healthier. It's predator-prey relations, it's a normal, natural process.

[info145]

They only take what they need. The Japanese could learn from these people. Hunting on an industrial scale harms a species, especially when you DON'T even need whales for your people to survive!

[hunterDallas1234]

Good for them.... They aren't like those pussy Indians in Alberta that say they have to hunt to keep up their tradition if they want to hunt I think that they have to hunt with bow and arrows and primitive weapons not guns. And they shoul only be allowed to hunt on a reservation

[tubermann1]

looks delicious

[shadeofme12]

mmm whale sashimi

[Canaragimuk]

yummy in my eskimo tummy i love animals and thier good to eat

[DrogenKinder100]

a boy becomes a man when he hunts? ... FUCK you.. i go buy it.. im still a man.. i hate whale hunters.. (i dont buy whale meat)

[Zoe600smile]

@DrogenKinder100 It's their way of life, they're so respectful and don't over hunt. They probably see you as lazy and undeserving. I wonder how much meat you let go off in your fridge meaning that animal died for nothing. Think again before you insult and disrespect other people's cultures!

[DrogenKinder100]

@Zoe600smile We got our cultures too ! ... I understand they try to stay alive.. But i guess there is another food then whales lol.. What will they do if in this world no more whales exist?? And i know that God gave this animals to eat.. but whales are not much in this fckn world <.<

[Zoe600smile]

@DrogenKinder100 Have you been there? Have you seen the abundant supply of animals just running around waiting to be eaten? No! The reduced number of whales has nothing to do with these people, it's industries and companies! Maybe you need to do a little research before you express your empty opinions?

[Danielc02]

Just dont let them toutch your balls!!

[twistaa95]

NARWALS NARWALS SWIMIN IN THE OCEAN CAUSIN A COMMOTION CUZ THEY ARE SO AWSUM!!!

[labandme]

I wonder how much food they'd get without guns, snowmobiles, spy glasses, block and tackles, modern clothes and glasses? They'd starve no doubt or move to Toronto for handouts.

[lannaboy84]

@labandme F you take a guess how long they have been doing this? just guess? guarentee if you grew up the way some of the older folk did you'd shut your mouth your mouth and show some respect to ppl who stll try and live as close as they can traditionally! you shallow excuse of a human!

[labandme]

@lannaboy84 I'm completely aware of how the older folks grew up. They were proud, lived off the land and were completely self sufficient. It's your generation that has let down your ancestors and who have disgraced your elders. That's who I'm talking about. Your post proves my point. Uneducated, no respect and will never amount to anything. If you are trying to live a traditional lifestyle, work hard and are aware, I don't include you in the group above.

[SuperExplorer1]

i got no problem with what these ppl do they hunt 2 survive the only problem i c here is the kid is a habs fan hahahahah

[ramsantosjr]

AT LEAST THEY DIDNT HAVE TO WORK TO GET FOOD JUST HUNT THE S.O.B.

[ramsantosjr]

WHEN U GOTTA EAT U GOTTA EAT! FUCK ALL DAT MYSTICAL SUPERSTITIOUS BULLSHIT!

[bartonim]

Whale hunting is quite an overdone controversy. Face it, folks: the Inuit need and fully use the hunted whale because they respect the animal. I'm quite liberal, but find all of the anti-whaling whiners annoying. Next time you consume any other animal's flesh, bitch-slap yourself for your self-righteousness. If I can eat beef or tuna or chicken, Inuit can eat whale.

[spmcfar]

Please 99% of hunters only take what they need the only people I have a problem with are the ones that will shot an animal just to kill it. But most people only kill to eat, protect there livestock and there families.

[DarkSkysify]

now this is good, because they eat what they kill, and the western people kill animals for fun and for trophies, thats bad to me

[ramsantosjr]

@DarkSkysify I HATE THAT TERM WESTERN???? LIKE WTF??? LIKE WE FROM ANOTHER PLANET OR SOMETHING U STUPID FUCK WE IN THE SAME PLANET JUST TRYIN 2 SURVIVE IDIOT!!!!

[thecckids]

@ Zorica12 its not by that its by the sun

[thecckids]

iam a inuk it is very good anyone should try

[worldagency]

mmm, it looks good!! if you make it as a soup maybe its delicious too.. im hungry now

[armbender777]

id like to try a piece of muktuk.. I do believe in conservation and also believe in harvest.. nice video!

[johnd94]

Paul Watson must hate Inuits...

[lolman1565]

where did he shoot that narwhal to kill it?

how did they catch narwhals before guns

and drag them out of the water w/o snowmobiles?

Harpoons and sleds maybe?

[captinseperoth]

@lolman1565

they modernized

they used to use canoes and small spears....

These people MUST HUNT,or their tradition will die!

[NorthernMostTours]

what a great video! i wish we had narwhales!

[Shegalooga]

Yumm, I miss maktak!

[santolman]

omfg Die MOFO'S !@@!@!@!@!

DONT KILL NARWHALS IDIOTS!@@!!@@!

THEY ARE AWESUM NUSS

[alexns]

its their way of life you fucking hippy

[PrinceZukoMarley]

didn't you hear what they said? they only take what they need. there is a different concept of hunting in western society than there is in other cultures. here hunters are looked down upon by crazy hippies. but in the inuit communities they are looked up at by their village who needs them to stay alive. remove your obnoxious comment.

[santolman]

haha you are so retarded you take this so serious, the fact that you even like to watch this means you are fucking gay and have NO LIFE

[PrinceZukoMarley]

ok. then tell me why the hell you are watching this then.

[santolman]

cause the narwhal song is epic and narwhals are pro

[PrinceZukoMarley]

i guess theres something we can agree on

[itzahazylife]

@PrinceZukoMarley

i look down on western hunters and i'm not a hippie..and i do because it's not hunting, it's a sport to them..killing anything shouldn't be a sport..western hunting isn't genuine. it's a disgrace to the animals we share the earth with..genuine hunting is a special thing..something else dies so u can live..something shouldn't die so we can hang the head up on our walls and high five our hunting buddies..i'm not attacking u or anything, i'm just saying.

[everjim]

amazing

[wtfr3nch]

omgawd its half fish half unicorn

[GeezaGooderz]

mmmm mut-tuk!

[NameTaken1000]

All this looks really good to eat. If people can live off this for a few thousand years, then you know that it is damn good.

[misheralak228]

the sailors that died by scurvy died near our community at a island called marble island

[Zorica12]

Did they not eat muktuk because they thought it was gross? Or did they not really know about it? (Even though maybe they would have seen Inuit eating them...)

[gtrmussa]

@Zorica12

No doubt they saw themselves as being above eating "savage food". Their loss, they payed for their "superiority". Maybe.

I'm in one of those moods :)

[yumagetbullet]

wow. i am really anti-killing animal for selling and killing for pleasure.

but then these Eskimo said that they respect animals and they believe they have soul like humans, and that they share meat to other people . i was really pleased, and happy, that there is still good people in the world, .

[Solechnaya]

To them, both the animal and the one who eats it benefits.

When the animal is eaten, the human recieves good nutrients. At this, the animal has an opportunity to become a part of the human.

They are very respectful people.

[zelgrabx81]

well not so much a benefit for the whale more of 1 for the ppl

:]

[Solechnaya]

@zelgrabx81

This goes into the spiritual aspect of it, not just the physical.

[tjdoss]

@Solechnaya The animal doesn't benefit. It dies. This is just another superiority theory that states that animals are inferior to human being. May be in their ability to think but not by their right to live and co-exist.

So if there is a powerful being bigger than human beings do u think its correct if they hunt human beings for their food?

These people are survivors and that's all there is to it.

[Solechnaya]

@tjdoss

No, you don't know the half of it. Or maybe it's the 'fact' that your world view is superior to everyone else.

What if you were WRONG?

[tjdoss]

@Solechnaya 1) I'm not disrespecting these people because that's their resource of existence.

2) I don't think animals should deserve to die just because human beings can taste them.

3) It's my opinion towards a common debate. How can ones opinion be wrong champ?

[Solechnaya]

@tjdoss

It's of my opinion that I am correct.

[tjdoss]

@Solechnaya The fact that you wrote an animal getting benefited when it gets killed, doesn't make sense.

[sjcousins]

damn. I was expecting him to row out and harpoon the whale; then he pulls out a rifle?

[xdir]

Such beautiful creatures, I respect the fact the Inuits eat it rather then hunt for "science" and selling the meat.

[iAznAssassin]

Yeah they do this because they need to eat to survive, unlike those canadians (I don;t hate canadians, my cousin is canadian), they kill seals as a "sport"

[bigpimpinc230]

there is no seal hunt for sport, the seal hunt is an important part of many peoples livelihood in some rural maritime communities. People arn't just going out and killing seals for kicks, get your facts straight bud.

[EastSideNunavik819]

only white people from canada kill for fun but us inuit kill for food and good clothing you dumb sh_t

[zelgrabx81]

rofl

[SniperViper1000]

Bitch. i'm white and from Canada I don't hunt for fun.

[SniperViper1000]

They are Canadian. Narwhal not NARWHALES, go throught Northern Canada.

[Bartsterbart]

LOL

We share muktuk

muktuk have vitamins

muktuk tastes good

LOL

[CrimsinD]

Cooking it would make it lose most of its nutrients, cooking food disinfects but also makes it lose its nutritional value. =3

[RoyalBlueMersey]

Most fresh meat can be eaten raw, just as long as it is kept in the right conditions and hasn't been left for too long.

[cubanboy740]

why u kill then u basters !

[timutisangoya]

there are no basters in the north only in cuba.

[USASoCCerGoaL]

so ur a vegetarian? I really doubt you pork eating cubans are vegetarians

[northshorerathunta]

no wonder they kiss with their nose's....blubber breath.....mmmmmmmm

[obarker2020]

Muktuk's not bad; it quite greasy, and tastes a bit like bland pork chop. The meat is really dark and strong, though.

[jorgejelly0828]

NOW, THAT'S FRESH FISH.

[irkiIIer]

actually whales aent fish, but w/e i guess their skin is like fishes.

[jorgejelly0828]

Actually I know that. Not to be rude to you, but I just said it like it is just as fresh as an apple picked right out of the tree. Maybe you are right, maybe the skin taste like fish. Thanks for the reply.

[Enseni]

Meat looks chewy.

[MTSociety]

20000 plus whales .. what r u talking about

[timutisangoya]

go back to school maybe you will learn something

[MTSociety]

What are you talking about?  You got issues, dude.

[ImSoEpic77]

I LOVE NARWHALES! they're like, unicorns of the ocean...

[fiendin281]

except their horn is just one big nasty ingrown tooth

[eightbore1971]

That ought to get the PETA and HS folks in an uproar.....I LOVE IT! Can I buy a tag? :)

[gorgeousdevil82]

YIKES...THEY ATE IT RAW..

[dumaznbum]

i wonder what norwhal taste like

[sammyboyb]

lol chicken probably...
