Help me out here, Michaelle...

...is hunting only inhumane when the rest of us do it?

When it was over, the Governor General wiped her bloody fingers with a tissue, saying it is difficult to believe anyone would characterize the traditional hunting practices as inhumane.
Or... is hunting still a bloody, unnecessary ritual... but we're giving these folks a cultural "get out of jail free" card?

And people, let's not forget that, in our not so distant past... "French missionary au jus"... was also traditional, if infrequent aboriginal fare.

I'm guessing we're not gonna let that one slide.

POSTSCRIPT:
I've received a couple of emails splitting hairs about using the term aboriginal here. I respond thusly...

aboriginal - characteristic of or relating to people inhabiting a region from the beginning; "native Americans"; ie. "the aboriginal peoples of Australia"
And hey, as soon as the GG comes out and enthusiastically endorses hunting for the non-aboriginal population... I'll kiss her ass too.
