so they get a free pass for killing whales because it's their culture?

Well yeah.

What are they going to eat and get energy from in freaking Alaska? Snow?

This. We think certain food like mangoes are expensive because of the cost of importing. What they pay for food up there is ridiculous! If you can't afford it (most can't), then you rely and what you know to survive.

More like they get a free pass because they actually respect the animal, and (unless my research-fu has been weak in this instance) they don't kill enough of them to horribly impact the animal's population. We have other factors to thank for that!

Of course, I am one of those people who don't hunt myself, but respect those who do for sustenance and cultural reasons (where they actually use the animal instead of only using it for bragging rights). So, I am coming at it from a different place then some of what I consider the more extreme positions come from.

You're right. They have more of a natural relationship with their environment. They kill what they need when they need it and use every part of it they can rather than wasting. And the only harm they'd do to whale populations would be to cut back enough that the whales wouldn't start overpopulating and causing environmental problems themselves. I'm not into hunting either, but how else were people eating before we figured out the whole grocery store concept?

they don't kill enough of them to horribly impact the animal's population.

Actually it really depends on what individuals are hunted too. Babies in particular - if you kill one baby a year, that has a far worse effect on the whale population than killing one adult. If a female can have 1 baby every 3 years for 30 years (which is conservative for humpback whale), she'd give birth to about 10 baby whales. If you kill her at a random point in her adult life, she probably would have had about 5 calves. If you killed her before she reached maturity, you'd be eliminating 10 baby whales instead of 5.

There's speculation that's what actually killed some of the large animals from the ice age - killing a baby once a year, not a huge slaughter.
