Whaling has always been a prominent source of food for Alaskans, and is monitored by the International Whaling Commission. A hunting quota for the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission was recently renewed, allowing 255 whales to be harvested by 10 Alaskan villages over five years.

It's hard to believe those 10 Alaskan villages can't find another source of food. These animals are obviously still endangered, and it's a pity that a specimen that managed to live over a century had to die to become dinner.

There is absolutely no reason for whales to be hunted today. 'Course, if the whale was killed by a bunch of Japs instead of the indigenous peoples of the Eskimo, I bet the AP story would have read a little differently.
