As a culturally sensitive vegan, I would approve of Michaëlle Jean's seal eating and hunting, if only she wasn't conflating inuit seal hunting with east coast seal hunting... So not the same thing.

They're not a distraction when the whole point of this subthread is your assertion that no one needs to live there, which you still haven't accounted for in a clear way. You really lost me there, but I'm still giving you the benefit of the doubt.

No one needs to live anywhere. There is no necessary, organic connection between any individual human and its environment. The only way you can maintain such a claim is it you are racist: "Primitive people, like the Inuit, are naturally in tune with their environment..." And, again, the particular case of people living in the Arctic - or anywhere else - is a distraction from the real issue: people should not use animals instrumentally just as they should not use one another instrumentally.
