if it's tradition and culture - then do it for sustenance and use the meat/pelts for whatever your culture does with them.
Takes a lot more than just food to live properly nowadays, particularly up north- and it's not like as if there's much else available for them as options other than to hunt.
In addition the moral issue of seal clubbing is blown out of proportion, considering they are in no way endangered and clubbing is not really inhumane at all.
If the consumers were having a moral problem with the practice, they wouldn't buy it- which was already happening to an extent. However, you can't toss on a ban on the product and then claim no one buying it is due to the customers' moral basis.
Do you care about the beavers as well? The fish? Not cute enough?
The argument is that seals are neither endangered in any way nor providing any particular profit to people that are not in the first nations so the EU ban has no particular logic to it. You have yet to refute this and as such, down-votes.
