    Each to their own I hate nobody really. Nobody is shitty for making their own life Choices. Name calling won't solve any problems. I admire vegans and vegetarians my daughter is a vegetarian who eats vegan sometimes because she is dairy intolerant so foods labelled as vegan are safe for her . I eat meat and enjoy it. I try to not eat it all the time. And mix it up with veggie meals. Live and let live but Don t kill whales I say.

    You are making arguments for, in 2018 -  completely unnecessary murder. 

    So  I do no really see why my way of arguing should matter.

    It's as...

        Definition of murder
    1 : the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought

        was convicted of murder

    2 a : something very difficult or dangerous

        the traffic was murder

        carrying the luggage was murder on my back

    b : something outrageous or blameworthy

        getting away with murder

    3 : a flock of crows

        There's a reason the proper term for a flock of them is a murder of crows, and it's not because we like having them around. —Jeffrey Kluger

    First of all, KISS blows so I'm not watching that lol
    Nickelback in make-up is not my thing.

    Second, I don't love animals like you do.
    Not everyone is raised like you were.  I was raised as a part of the natural world, not a thing separate from it.  I'm not sure you can understand what difference that makes.  Death is a natural part of life, as are suffering and joy.  In the animal kingdom, suffering is the dominant state.  Believe it.  Now, I'm not claiming that killing animals to eat them is a service to them, but being a part of the cycle of life and death teaches you a perspective that you don't have.  Cultivating this "love" for animals that has popped up in recent centuries is unnatural and it is just another piece in the mosaic of the human disconnect from our home planet and our origin.

    Third, the mental gymnastics of veganism exist as well.  There's a big hypocrisy is claiming ALL life has value, and then ignoring and diminishing the myriad lesser life forms that are destroyed in the process of your food production.  The line has to be drawn somewhere, you know it and we know it, so stop pretending there is no line.

    Fourth, man, KISS really blows lol

    This is stupid.

    There's been some dumb memes on this forum lately, but this might be the dumbest.

    Not only that.., the fart serves as a turbo blast for extra flying speed.

    I hate memes.

    I would comment on the above back and forth, but this thread is already way off the rails the way it is.

    I will say that killing whales as a part of your heritage is walking a pretty fine line in the current modern age. I respect the traditions and lifestyle they are trying to uphold, but I think at some point you have to weigh the pros and cons and determine if what you are doing makes sense anymore. We are meant to evolve not only physically, but also mentally, which  means considering how the world has changed in relation to our practices and cultural customs.

    With that said, I am sure there are tribes living in the rainforests that kill animals considered protected or endangered because it's still a part of their lifestyle because they are fully immersed in the historical culture and way of life their ancestors practiced. I will say that the main difference between them and the example of the Inuk with the Beluga Whale is that there is no promotion via technology. I think once you introduce modern day social media, you are losing the meaning and respect of the act. I wouldn't go to a funeral and snap a photo of me next to my grandma in the casket at the wake so everyone know what's going on.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    We started out talking about Inuit hunting whales, took a side trip to the corner of Vegan Lane and Carnivore Blvd, and ended up in Kissville. 

    What strange paths these threads wander.

    If the Inuit stopped harvesting their own food ... how are they going to eat?  Most of the Inuit communities are located above the tree, have long cold winters ... so growing food is not an option.  The price of  food in the northern communities are extremely expensive because everything is pretty much flown.  Asking the Inuit or any First Nation person to stop harvesting their own food is extremely selfish ... if not for this reason alone, this is their land ... deal with it.

    Food prices are insanely high in rural Canada, where Ketchup costs $14 and Sunny D costs $29

    Every single one of you posting against the Inuit way of life would be the first one's crying to your government if you had to pay those food prices...

    I do have ketchup in my fridge, to be honest.

    And you have done a really good job speaking without listening.

    You have avoided responding to every solid counter point and as a result... you've lost your point and the discussion has stopped and switched to lifestyle (and farting mutant ninja turtles).

    I wonder what percentage of their wild-harvested diet is mammalian.  My guess is that it is a largely pescatarian diet.

    I have read and listened ... why I should I change my view.  It's their land...prove me wrong, that it is not there land.  Please, explain why they should give up their traditions.  Harvesting their own meat and northern food prices go hand in hand ... my position is perfectly clear.  I am not the who derailed this thread by bringing up vegans ... that was other people.  I'm not one of these self righteous posters who thinks if I don't harvest my own food, or eat meat .... no one should.
