WAY too much euphoria over that kill.
Greenpeace is on the way, and they are MAD.
They had previously named that whale "McCartney"...
The EU will begin a boycott of whale-oil lamps, chewfat,
and baleen corsets.

I don't know why Green Peace should have anything to do with this.

It a way of life for the Nunavik.

"The rush of emotion also reached across Nunavik, where whale meat will be distributed to its 14 villages."

I agree more with the way these popel killed the whale than a whaler with a harpoon.

The Inuit are tough cookies and they know how to take down an animal to feed a whole shitload of folk

I was bunking with a guy the first few days that hunts norwhale and others out near marble island just off the coast at Rankin inlet.
They dont do it for sport,hunting is a way of life for the "Inuk" You dont hunt then you rely on those that do.
Every night i see the lights from the nightriders on their quads going to hunt caribou.

On a sad note the food bank at rankin shut down last week after another break in.
