So these folks are politically incorrect by elitist standards

The baby seal pelts are sought for fashion only. Our northern natives take far fewer animals consuming only what they need whereas a relatively few men in mechanized mobiles kill by the thousands for the nouveau riche. I don't see any white baby seal pelts in this photo of these arctic natives. People living in industrial nations have far more options to cloth themselves not needing any such pelts. Our arctic neighbors use the whole animal whereas the pelts are the sole aim of the baby seal hunt.
I can see killing animals that pose a danger to people such as predators encroaching on densely populated areas. But, for the life of me, I can't see the value of mass slaughter especially where you have to go way, way out of your way to find your quarry. It's senseless. At some point their has to be an ethic for killing animals. That ethic should be limited to food just sufficient for your survival or for your safety. It's what the rest of the predators live by.
