It bothers me when I see animal welfare groups portray seal hunting as an evil and greedy thing. The images and statements they put out don't reflect the seal hunting I know. They don't even mention Inuit.

Introduction
An Inuk lies on a snowbank, looking down the barrel of a rifle. A crack ripples through the air. He rows in a boat to collect his kill, a seal that he immediately skins.
Upon returning to his village, the hunter sells the skin and invites his family to eat the meat.
Colonized by Canadians, Americans, Russians, and Danes, the Inuit have remained one people with the same language and culture for centuries. But now their way of life is under threat.
Although seal hunting is an intrinsic part of Inuit culture and economy, misinformed protestors fight against it, unwilling to understand.
Directed by Inuk filmmaker Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, Angry Inuk is a feature-length documentary defending the Inuit seal hunt and following the Inuit's passionate defense.
Released in 2016, the film won the People's Choice Award at the TIFF Canada's Top Ten Festival.
