is there even anything else to eat in inuit expect for seal and fish lol.

[NunavutMusic]

yes, caribou! Our number one food source today. I grew up on the coast of hudson bay with my grandpa. We ate seals too, my hunting clothing are made of seal from head to toe.

..sometime inuite really hunted just for clothing and food but nowadays these things have nothing to do with that..this is my short opinion about it. previous is a simply compressed version to people who butchers animals just for fun and take a delight in it.

This is during spring hunt so warm clothing isnt needed. I use my sealskin clothing during winter when it gets really cold between November and April of each year. I would start sweating if I used my sealskin jacket during spring and summer. I still eat seals as I grew up with my grandparents.

Ignorant city folk who think they know what they are talking about. I challenge all city folk to try make a living in the arctic with out processed meat...they'll starve before long.

@NunavutMusic I'm having seal for lunch. We use harpoons, hooks or guns here. Seals are here for us all year round.

No one here in Kivalliq Region in Nunavut Territory ever uses clubs, we can never get close to them and if we do catch them off guard by foot, they try to bite so the best solution is quick kill for food and clothing. I still remember everything my grandpa taught me about seals, even in coldest winter temperatures here in Nunavut, seal meat is the best.

@simonea214 Last time I checked, no one clubs seals in the head. I can't imagine any good thinking native to hunt seals for a "prize". Shows how ignorant you actually are.

@AlexOvie8jr Would you believe Paul Watson if he told you himself?

Everything Green Peace & The Sea Shepard's is based upon is sensationalist miss information that they have publicly admitted to.

Right here on Youtube Barbara Frum - Paul Watson Interview, 1978 CBC

Nobody was giving them money to help with real environmental issues or endangered species but the money poured for the cute seals.

[AlexOvie8jr]

@Eddythebeast666 you're wrong

[AlexOvie8jr]

@simonea214 inuit never club seals.

[simonea214]

@nativebrother But what about the annual seal hunt? They are just killed for a fucking prize. Not for food. Us "ignorant city folk" are talking about this, not the people who actually live off of the meat. And Im sure you guys could find more productive and civilized ways to catch them instead of clubbing them in the head.

[Eddythebeast666]

80% of those employed by the fur industry are Natives. Its a traditional way of life passed down generations the first Europeans that we lived in peace with traded with us for our furs. Attacking that way of life hurts Natives more then anyone. Targeting the Newfoundland seal hunt which is a species that has never been endangered when there are 20 species of seal in need of help else where is proof that it is cultural bias, racism that motivates your hate not a concern for seals.

Tha annual seal hunt is sick and pointless. Hunters hit them in the head with clubs and shoot them in the face just for a prize. Thats just uncivilized and disgusting. And on top of that it wastes millions of tax dollars. Seals are just killed for a profit. They are gonna become endangered too because of effin humans (but not the ones who actually LIVE off the meat.)
