Inhaltsangabe

This analysis of the impact of the ban on seal hunting on Inuit (Eskimo) culture and economy in arctic Canada is written by an anthropologist who spent over 20 years living and working with Inuit. He describes the consequences the ban has had on an industry which came from one of their few natural resources, bringing hardship, distress and instability to an ecologically balanced traditional culture. The study comments on how environmental activity can oppress a whole society, which raises questions about the motives and methods of the animal rights movement to elevate animal rights over human rights.
