A bite of Greenlandish culture outside Copenhagen’s 2)upscale Magasin department store, by a minority which fears that its traditional way of life is under threat. Inuits came to protest against Magasin’s decision to ban the sale of all seal products. They fear that other businesses will now 3)follow suit.
Shops around the world are under pressure from animal welfare campaigners, who believe that the 4)culling of seals, especially in Canada, is brutal and unethical.

Sara Olsvig (MP of Greenland): When department stores such as Magasin 6)inaugurate new rules on animal ethics, it’s going to affect us that have a different culture and a different sustainable way of living.

在丹麦哥本哈根的高端百货商店玛格辛门外有一个少数族群正展示着格陵兰文化的一个内容，他们担心自己传统的生存方式面临威胁。因纽特人在此抗议玛格辛百货商店禁止销售一切海豹产品的决定。他们担心其他商家也会效仿这一决定。
