Funny how 'traditional' here is implied to have a positive connotation, as if to say: Well, here are some people who did something we don't like, but it's maybe justified since it was tradition.
Tradition need not mean good, this one is clearly barbaric by modern standards.
- bell-cot 5y ago"Traditional hunting" generally implies "competent", "sustainable", and "only enough for the community's own needs". Its sounds like the supposedly trained-and-certified "traditional" hunters here fell far short of such ideals. If one wanted to end this particular tradition, that seems like the best angle to attack it from.
- Leherenn 5y agoI don't know about the other 2, but I wouldn't say sustainable. Humans have been overhunting species for a long while now, from the Ice Age megafauna, to lions in Europe in Antiquity and the Dodo a few centuries ago, and plenty of species currently. If anything, sustainability is a pretty new concept.
