Can anyone explain why the environmentally sensitive westerners, with their drive to use as much of the whale as they possibly could, turned away from whales as a resource and started making pets out of them?
There's two reasons.
1) Petroleum was a better resource for energy needs, which dropped the bottom out of the whaling industry, and,
2) Whales were getting hard to find.
Once again, economics came into play. There's absolutely no reason to believe that Eskimos are any different from the rest of us.
