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.

@gr33kSauc3 Wow, either u have anger issues or your a dumbass. These tribes kill seals for food and use every part of their body, not just skinning it and throwing away the rest of the body. this is no different then killing pigs and cows for pork and beef. Jeez, i always hate people who are so quick to criticize.

wow finaly i find a video with an ulu knife being used for something that looks like its primary function rather than cheesy adverts of house wives using it to cut celery. cheers
