Chris Apassingok, in my opinion is a great young man. It is no small thing to risk your life to procure food for your people, saving them from starvation. My hat is off to him. He should be proud.

As far as I’m concerned, the people who bullied him and sent death threats to him are all dim witted, left wing moonbats! People like this have no idea how to survive in remote places where they’re no grocery stores. They couldn’t survive for more than one week, because they are total idiots.

Chris, hold your head high! You have nothing to be ashamed of!

If you should rant about something you should youtube denmark luring and trapping close to the beach and slaughtering 250 whales at once ! Turning the water red.

Why would this young sir be getting death threats for hunting for himself and the community? In places like this we don’t have a burger places or chicken etc. to go to like most of the world? Bashing him for doing this for survival, sharing and culture is beyond stupidity. Now if he was doing it for fun it would be understandable. Millions of cattle/chicken and millions of pets being bred so much that most of the unwanted ones get killed? Think before you know what your talking about city dwellers!

A writer utilizing their knowledge of the natural bounty of the Alaskan lands as well as those utilizing its natural resources to feed their people, and then topping it off with technological resources to spread this supposed threat around the world… Who Are You to engage in activities to instill fear in this young man proud to serve his people… NOT himself!
