Indigenous communities which have been sustainably hunting animals for years for survival is obviously not leading to the endangerment of those animals. It’s when corporations involve themselves in the trade of hunting animals for mass production of goods that causes severe damage to the sustainability of arctic wildlife. Activism and protests should be directed to those establishments and not indigenous communities that are clearly not contributing to the decline of Arctic wildlife.
If Indigenous communities were the really the cause of endangered species, then the animals would have been extinct along before colonization.
Lol, people try to argue that indigenous people are responsible for the extinction of the great megafauna in the Americas. Except, you know, the climate was changing, and then there was a meteorite, so…
And that’s why I say fuck white vegans, especially celebrity white vegans, who try to outlaw shit like seal hunting in the arctic at the cost of starving and freezing Indigenous people who depend on that for survival. They’d seriously let entire communities of people die if it means saving the fucking seals.
Rather, they’d let entire peoples go extinct if it meant not having to challenge capitalist exploitation.
When basic necessities cost like $80 a pop in the arctic, and you outlaw traditional food, you’re killing indigenous people. Straight up.
