The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the U.S. has granted the Makah Tribe of Washington state the approval to harvest as many as 25 grey whales over the next 10 years.

Before any hunt starts, NOAA Fisheries and the Tribe must agree on the expedition, under the Whaling Convention Act, and the Tribe must apply for and receive a hunting permit.

As Kylie Stanton reports, the Makah Tribe says it's an important part of their culture, but critics are questioning whether it's really necessary.

Whales are some of the most intelligent and emotional creatures on earth. This makes me sick. And I’m Indigenous Métis. Culture isn’t set in stone. The fate of what we want our cultures to look like is in our own hands. Just because our ancestors did something doesn’t make it right nor does it mean we have to continue with those practices.

This is so sad. Leave the whales alone!

I remember their last whale kill. They were jumping up and down on it, hooping and hollering like idiots. No respect was shown to the whale. Then one guy cut off a piece of blubber and stuffed it in his mouth, and spit it out seconds later. Respect for whales? No, not from this tribe.

I'm indigenous and this disgusts me. Traditional doesn't have to mean we're stuck in our ways. We've learned whales are intelligent and empathetic animals and they deserve our respect.

There was a time when human sacrifice was a "custom" , should that be reinstated ?
@andg5194 11日前

there is enough food, it's not like they need whale meat to survive.... if it's for ceremonial and keeping the tradition alive, one should be enough? why do they need up to 20+ whales?

A tradition is merely an excuse to be terrible. These people are terrible.

Disgusting. That's like telling someone they can own slaves because they have a 250 year old contract.
