It seems to me that this is similar to Native Americans who object to rock climbers that scale Devil's Tower. Unless the hunk of rock (or, as in the above story, albino moose) is your property, it doesn't make any difference just how sacred something is to you when it's a public resource.
That the hunters were able to come to an accommodation with the tribe out of the goodness of their hearts certainly speaks well for their character, but they were under no obligation whatsoever to do so simply because they killed a genetically defective animal.

I have no problem at all with hunting. Although I don't happen to hunt, I like venison and other wild game. One would think that to see a white Moose would cause even this buffoonish jerkwater to pause and reflect before blowing it away.

If it was all that important why didn't the guide service say anything beforehand?
Seems there's no one really to blame here and everyone is acting like civilized adults.
A welcome relief after the last coupla weeks news. d:^)

Let’s see—Obama and Holder exempt African Americans from many things. And you’re exempting white people from certain things. Oh, I see . . . .

Do not anger the Mi'kmaq.
They can make your pet cat rise from the dead.
