Extinction

Polar Bears have been put on the endangered species list. So why the hell is some "Big Game Hunter" allowed to pay money for a licence to shoot them? This guy paid $45K for a chance to bag a polar bear. The weird thing is that the bear he killed is actually a Polar Bear/Grizzly Bear cross that they have never seen before in nature. Wow - how cool! Bears who have a very slim chance of ever crossing paths and their mating seasons overlap a little bit managed to get along for a short time to mate and produce an offspring. And some dumbass shot it!

I am not morally opposed to hunting. If you eat what you hunt then great...but to shoot an endangered animal is morally wrong. Wrong. So this guy manages to hunt and shoot an animal that is a cross between two endangered animals (grizzlies are endangered too).

I am not an animal lover, normally. I mean I like cats, can tolerate dogs, am in awe of horses but that's about it. Spiders and bugs are for squishing only. Cows and pigs are for eating. But please leave the polar bears alone.
