Traditional Whale Hunt

The Makah tribe has legal rights to conduct whale hunts to preserve their culture, however I have to question this latest hunt. While I will admit a fair amount of ignorance on the subject of Makah history, I doubt that they traditionally used .50 caliber machine guns. Now the article doesn't mention it, but I would not be surprised to find that alcohol was also involved. People seem to think a lot of things are a better idea once they get a little booze in them, and unfortunately, gun play seems to be one of those things. There is sure to be an uproar from the animal rights activists over this one.
