Greenpeace is dogshit. They've been grifting "Save the Seals" for decades at the expense of Inuit livelihoods because it makes them money. Seals aren't even endangered.
Should have been more clear. I'm specifically referring to the Harp seal, which is the seal used by Greenpeace in their marketing and the one affected by the EU seal hunting ban. As of 2018 their population was a little under 8 million, around 8x their population at the end of the 70s. Inuit communities have been decimated as a result of the harp seal hunting ban thanks to perceptions by dipshit Westerners of them as "the eskimo in the igloo", removed from the global economy. Watch the documentary "Angry Inuk", it's a good insight into the way that animal rights activism is often coopted into a grift at the expense of Indigenous communities.
White libs getting mad about the Inuit seal hunt is basically the equivalent of said same white libs getting mad at like a Pacific Northwest Indigenous people cutting down an old tree to build canoes, houses, clothing, household objects, and various other things. They've been sustainably living off the land for far longer than the existence of nation-states. Exactly right, much of this conservation posturing puts Indigenous livelihoods in the crosshairs when it's clearly the whites overfishimg to their heart's content. Greenpeace mfs need to get their seal pity the fuck outta here.

Way to talk out of your ass. 10 of the 34 seal species are classified as threatened with some having less than 500 individuals left.

We need to return to the time where they killed/coexisted/assimilated the Viking colonizers in Greenland. Good times.
Yeah, fuck the seals!
Besides, the Inuit can feed their families with $30 orange juice instead
