What group of individuals devastated the traditional economy of the Inuit by working to ban seal hunting in Canada, where many Inuit live?

Answer 1

The group of individuals that worked to ban seal hunting in Canada, and consequently devastated the traditional economy of the Inuit, are primarily animal rights activists and environmental organizations. These groups argue against the hunting of seals due to concerns over animal welfare and sustainability. Their campaigns and lobbying efforts have led to restrictions and bans on seal hunting, which have had significant economic impacts on Inuit communities heavily dependent on the seal hunt for subsistence and income.
