The Inuit eats the meat of the hunted animals like polar bear, caribou etc. and used the fat to burn lamps and used the skin and bones to make clothes and tools. Do you feel this as a cruel activity being performed by Inuits?​

Traditionally Inuit cuisine (or Eskimo cuisine), which includes Greenlandic cuisine and Yup'ik cuisine, consisted of a diet of animal source foods that were fished, hunted, and gathered locally. In the 20th century the Inuit diet began to change and by the 21st century the diet was closer to a Western diet. Although traditional or country foods still play an important role in the identity of Inuit, a large amount of food is purchased from the store, which has led to health problems and [[Indigenous food security in Canada|food insecurity]].[1][2]

According to Edmund Searles in his article Food and the Making of Modern Inuit Identities, they consume this type of diet because a mostly meat diet is "effective in keeping the body warm, making the body strong, keeping the body fit, and even making that body healthy".[3]
