Alaskan teen traumatised after getting death threats for killing a huge whale, World News - AsiaOne: When Chris Agra Apassingok, 16, harpooned the 17-metre bowhead whale in April, his family and neighbours on remote St Lawrence island celebrated the occasion as his rite of passage.
Proud of his achievement, his family shared photos on social media of the mammoth carcass being sliced up for distribution to the tiny village where subsistence hunting on land and sea keeps them alive.
His story first ran on KNOM Radio Mission before it was picked up by Alaska Dispatch News.
Then it went viral, with positive responses shared hundreds of times mainly by Alaskans who praised Chris for his feat, and then by people outside the state, where it raised the ire of anti-whaling groups around America.
