Re-Blog to support Native hunting rights and fight against individuals who don’t understand our Indigenous cultures.
???? no? “”“culture”“” isn’t an excuse for violence against a peaceful species for absolutely no logical reason
Well it’s not really about culture so much as FEEDING THEMSELVES so
Hey, @romancatholic wanna guess how much a head of cabbage costs up in indigenous communities up north? Did you guess the price in your local store, likely around 50 cents or a dollar something? You’d be incredibly wrong.
$28. Fucking $28 for a single head of cabbage. Baby formula can be upwards of 55 dollars. And when you’re that far up north, being vegan is a LUXURY that virtually no one can afford. They need PROTEIN. They need fuel to survive. And a whale carcass can provide WEEKS, if not a couple MONTHS of food for a community. That is an insane amount of time, and he did his community an incredible service by killing that whale.
Sorry you’d rather see people starve to death but fuck off?
Canada’s Native population are constantly given the shaft. This dude is a hero for catching that whale.
It’s worth mentioning here that the species of whale he killed was not endangered, and that the whale had a far better life than factory farmed animals/fish, and that if you want to make a difference to the lives of animals, there are SO many more effective ways you could go about that than go after very poor indigenous people who’ve been oppressed for centuries and have no other realistic way of feeding themselves.
