46、eople kill seals is awful! (The speaker is against seal hunting.),Listening 1,Professor: All right, today were going to continue our discussion on ethics. Well discuss the question, “Should the Inuit people of North America be allowed to hunt seals?” Its an important question, and in recent years, t

47、he European Union made it illegal to trade seal products. So in Europe, you cant buy or sell seal skins, or seal oil, or anything made from seals. Now, you probably dont wear seal-skin clothing or use a lot of seal oil, right? And the law is popular with most people in Europe. Why? Because they see

48、pictures of cute baby seals, and then they see pictures of the seal hunt. People kill the seals with a gun, or in the more old-fashioned way, by hitting them on the head.,To be continued ,Listening 1,Professor: The pictures show the red blood on the ice, and for many people, its disgusting. They thi

49、nk its their responsibility to stop the seal hunt. Yes? You have a question? Student 1: Yes, I have seen those picturesand videos, too. Theyre really difficult to watch! Im not surprised that Europeans want to stop seal hunting! Its awful! Professor: It does look bad, but the Inuit people have a dif

50、ferent opinion. They depend on animals for food. After all, not many plants can grow in such a cold climate, so people there cant raise crops such as rice or wheat. Therefore, the Inuit people have a special relationship with animals. They say they value the animals and have a lot of respect for the

51、m, and with seals, they know how to kill the animals quickly.,To be continued ,Listening 1,Professor: They compare it to Europeans and other people killing animals such as chickens or cattle for food. Of course, a lot of us dont see those animals being killed, so maybe thats why it doesnt upset us.

52、Anyway, how does the law in the European Union affect hunters in North America? Well, it doesnt affect a lot of the hunters. Many of the people in those pictures and videos are not Inuit people. They hunt seals for their own reasons. But within the Inuit community, seal skins are a source of income.

53、 The seal meat is usually eaten at home, and in the past, they sold the skinsmostly to Europe. So for the Inuit people, the law has serious results. Are there any questions?,To be continued ,Listening 1,Student 2: Im wondering whats ahead for the Inuit peopleyou know, what will their future be like?

54、 I mean, they cant control the laws in Europe, right? Professor: Thats true. However, the Inuit people are trying to change the law. They think that they should be able to sell seal products in Europe because they were some of the first people in North America. To them, the Inuit seal hunt is differ

55、ent from the rest of Canadas seal hunt. Other questions?,To be continued ,Listening 1,Student 3: Well, were talking about ethics, and the Inuit people say its fine for them to kill animals because people in other parts of the world kill animals, too. Personally, I dont agree. Im a vegan, so I dont e

56、at meat or any other animal products. I think all of us share the responsibility for taking care of animalsmaking sure nobody treats animals badly. Professor: And thats a very important idea.
