Yeah.. I guess I didn't have to see that either. Not opposed to hunting but just something really majestic about the polar bear. I sure how he use up every ounce of meat, hair and bone he takes from that kill.
Damn.
The hunting photos I share are of the pepole I lived with in the N.W.T. They do not hunt for sport. It's their way of life.
I understand the reservations that is held on polar bears. These pepole don't just hunt for them selves but for the comunity the catch is shared wether it be bear,seal,fish,whale,caribou. When a whale is caught the comunity comes out and it is portioned out to all. The oil from a whale is collected and now a days is used to burn for heating and cooking on hunting trips. Sinu from land animals ( that's the liner that separates the mussel) is used for sowing skins for clothing. As for bear skin it has a number of usages one of the main usage of the fur is to be used around ones hood as bear fur will not ice up from your breath ( fur stems are hollow) The pepole up there don't have the supermarkets and butcher shops. Supplies come in once or twice a year weather permitting. A head of lattes $5 a quart of milk $10
So I hope this small explanation helps in the understanding of the need to hunt. It's a hole different would up there. I know I lived it. LOL. And thank goodness for spell check cause schooling was not a priority growing up there.
