It’s the arctic and a polar bear. Is it fair? Well it’s about as fair as fishing. And if they don’t do either they’ll see how fair starving on a block of ice is

Maybe people shouldn't be living there if they can't survive without poisoning their prey

The same reason people shouldn't be living in Arizona and expecting other states to divert their water to them. There is no water there you shouldn't live there. No one is forcing anyone to live there

Just live in a habitable climate there are so many. Just live in a biome with plentiful game, there are many

The Inuit/Eskimos are some of the more self-sustaining peoples on the planet. They don't depend much on imports from elsewhere, at least not to my knowledge. They had to figure out many adaptations for the area but they make it work and have done so for a long time.

To compare them with a city representing the pinnacle of mankind's hubris is a bit of a reach imo
