eskimos are excellent hunters who have a great reverence for the world and animals around them, traditionally they have not hunted penguins.

why do you think this is?  what cultural, religious or other factors do you think would influence their decision?

#1 penguins are adorable.  just had to get that out there.

i am not sure of cultural or religious reasons, but i would think maybe because penguins are a passive creature, and most wouldn't be worth the hunt to feed many.  their skins might be useful but a seal would have the same aspect of the skins but with more benefits with the food and the blubber to use to heat things or whatever else you use blubber for.
