The Humane Society of the United States [21], among other non-Inuit critics, has characterized polar bear sport hunting as a business no different from any other entrepreneurial endeavour. Put simply, in this view the Inuit who outfitter or guide sport hunts do so for the same reasons as motivate any person who works for a wage—to obtain money. Moreover, Waters et al. [8] avow that, because the income that polar bear sport hunting generates for the Nunavummiut men who participate in the sport hunt as local outfitters, hunt guides and helpers and the women who sew caribou clothing and prepare bear hides for hunt clients amounts to less one-tenth of one percent of Nunavut's GDP and no more than 2% of the overall income any Nunavut community [8], any economic rationale for polar bear sport hunting is at best weak if not outright misleading.
