Reminds of the whale killing in Newfoundland in the 60s chronicled Farley Mowat where trapped whales were used for target practice by beastly humans without any subsistence relevance.  This seems to have turned into a sport instead of a real hunt for food by the incompetent manner of attempts to kill.  Sad to see the thirst for kill counter the past respect for the prey.  Where were the elders to show respect for the animal in the best Native tradition?
