A pair of Web cameras providing Internet images of walruses basking on Round Island will be shut off this week at the request of Alaska Native leaders, who do not want viewers to see the animals shot and butchered during the traditional fall hunt.

Out of sight out of mind...... the barbarian "natives" don't want people to see how they REALLY live.

These kinda stories crack me up - how ironic. You want to do the dirty deed but you don't want anyone watching!! If you are not ashamed of what you are doing, show it. I think people have the right to see exactly WTF is going on.

In many ways evolution is voluntary, and some people just refuse to do it.

Kind of what I was thinking.
