"Canada has an estimated 15,500 polar bears–roughly one third of the global population." Who is doing the math here?? 15,500 x 3 = 46,500 Polar Bears -- approx. 9 TIMES the amount estimated in the 1970's. Sounds to me like we have a freaking Polar Bear EPIDEMIC! (hide your women and children!!!) Additionally - why does everyone assume that a decrease in the population of 5 species of bear in Canada means they are DYING?? As nomadic animals - polar bears have no loyalty to Canada - they move with the FOOD SUPPLY - so if the seals move out, the bears move out too - this will mess with statistics. Everyone is so damn fascinated with trying to fix something that isn't broken. Polar Bears are being turned into political weaponry - it's pathetic. If you're worried about global warming (oh, oops "climate change") then make significant adjustments in your personal life and encourage others to do the same. Political battling and trying to legally FORCE others into your "Inconvenient Religion" isn't the way to do it. A revolution starts with one person making a difference in their own life and encouraging their friends to do the same. DROP THE POLAR BEARS! (they aren't weapons and they never asked for our fancy legal intervention) “Today the bear population is five times higher at about 25,000 thanks to efforts made by the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972.”
