Thanks for the info-I still don’t think that anyone needs to hunt an animal that lives for a century or two unless they are overpopulating-hunt something else...
Nope.
Be like hunting Galapagos Tortoises to make soup
Just becaue they can live for
a centuary, doesn’t mean that
those alive and succeptable to
hunt are a hundred years old.
When one subsistance hunts,
none are taken more than what
is required to sustain a thriving
human population. Children are
fed, and elders that can no longer
push through the physical
demands are cared for. Been
this way for hundreds of years.
And, guess what? There’s still
enough of those whales alive
to feed that population.
It’s in their blood to perpetuate
their survival. Natives know
not to eliminate a long standing
food source. Just as the buffalo
of the great plains. It wasn’t
the indians (natives) that wiped
them out.
