Belugas are hunted only as part of a subsistence hunt for Inuit or First Nations communities. Throughout Nunavut and Nunavik, 456 belugas were hunted in 2006, according to Fisheries and Oceans Canada figures. The annual harvest is regulated through area and seasonal closures, and by a "total allowable catch."

That does sound like a lot, but yeah, if populations can bounce back without too much trouble, why not. The Inuit aren't big on high impact living, and they respect the land.

As long as the population can support it, I don't see a problem. Cuteness alone does not demand protection.
