last! great pics like always.
Maybe it seems fancy but in fact disgusting pieces of human beeing
What a sick bunch of wild gooks! Why can’t they get a education and move to citys to get real jobs instead of kill harmless, cute walrusses?
There is only one stupid wild gook, you! I hope you will die in your garbage city
What a retarded fool! This people is 1000 times better than you, asshole.
Well, thats how the human race has been surviving since thousands of years: Hunting n stuff. Hence, i wont call it cruel.
the question to be asked: Nowadays, is it necessary to kill those big teethed monsters?
dear blog owner
you must not use adjective wild to describe people. It’s just their culture that others can’t judge unless they exceed some humanity limits, and they don’t seem to do so in these photos. in a point of view similar to yours lots of russian people are also wild compared to people in western countries. it’s crystal clear. just your rudeness.. try finding yourself a family and let them teach you everything about humanity from the start and I wish you really grow up this time.
To Rude, clearly the blog owner is not a native speaker of English. By using the same standards of political correctness which you have outlined above, you might be guilty of making some obtuse assumptions of your own. While I agree that ‘wild’ is not a polite term to describe people, perhaps the blog owner’s vocabulary lacks a more appropriate adjective. And for this he should not be faulted.
‘rude’, take a pill. You yourself insinuated that a lot of Russians are wild compared to people in western countries (BTW Russia is part of the West). Hypocritical jerk.
Hopefully some chinamen will come along and take the walrus tusks; maybe they could make some Chinese Viagra…Chiagra? =)

I see nothing wrong with them hunting walrus for food. I doubt it is done just for “sport”, and is instead a means of sustenance. Most people eat meat of some kind which requires the death of an animal, just like if another animal killed and ate it. Death is required for life to exist. I can’t stand whiney assholes who have never lived outside the city thinking they know best how to tell others to live. You don’t live there, you have no idea what their culture or way of life is like, so SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Maraudon-
I guess you nebver have fish or steak or a hamburger or whatever else is normal in your country??? If you do, then you are a hypocrite.
Animals are made into food. Just because you buy it all sanitized and wrapped in plastic doesn’t make it less of a cow or a fish. Cripes, you sound like a California USA tree hugger.
Get real.
eta moya dva rubles
Yum!
Why not kill each other and eat that meat?
civilization doesn’t mean always civilization… still there are cave dwellers anywhere… seals and dogs beated to death to make caps and manteaus… boiled live dogs in China to make the dish of the day… like cats in Peru and horses in Switzerland…
Supply and demand. People doing what they need to survive.
There should be a PETA/Vegan filter for the comments script.
Everyone should have to get or make their own food, clothing, and shelter for 1 year of their lives. They would appreciate all that they have and be much nicer to each other. These people look more civilized than most parasite bastards wearing 3-piece suits that never produced anything.
Almost everybody of us eat meat. Do you think its falling from the sky???
That is extremely cruel indeed. I am sorry for those who think differently. Reasons:
1st) The human population has increased abnormally in last centuries and the wild life (natural resources, etc) cannot keep up regenerating pace to support human destruction demands.
2nd) Motor boats are being used - so the hunt is really not “fair” with the animals.
3rd) There is no need to kill wild animals for food.
Those are just my point of views…
