First Nations and people of European heritage have hunted seals for hundreds of years.
Both groups use the meat and both groups make money off of it. Supporters of this practice say that t First Nations and Euro-Canadians should be allowed to make a living doing something that they have done for generations.
The EU says the proposed ban won’t stop First Nations from hunting seals for substance. Many think that it is not fair that they want to take away one of the ways the community along with other rural Atlantic Canada communities make money from their traditional skills.
