The battle in court over Polar bears is going on still but
this time they lost. American officials met in Bangkok with other world leaders
to limit polar bear hunting and poaching. Norway, Canada, Greenland, and Alaska
all opposed this because of their Polar bear populations and need for those
pelts for trade. They were successful in that but America won one for the bears
by keeping them off the threatened list. The Fish and Wildlife service wanted
to move Polar bears to the threatened list but America fought and kept them in
the endangered list. This is good because they will receive more protection
from the governments. One issue about the limit of poaching not regulated is
polar bears could drop very fast and become gone forever. A solution would be
to fight again to get polar bears limited from hunting. A barrier is that the governments
of the countries that trade the pelts need that income from trade. I think we
could maybe stop all the hunting but at least regulate it some so we can have
polar bears for future generations.Thursday, March 21, 2013

Polar bears are awesome animals and it would be a shame to not have them around for future generations to admire!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that Polar Bears will remain on the endangered species list. We don't want people to forget about them now do we?
ReplyDeleteEveryone cares about polar bears why not all the other types of bears that are endangered
