I see the Liberal Lobotomy patients are wringing their little hands over the Polar Bears Again...
So, I did a super fast Google search and pulled the following right off the first page of results.
"Polar Bear
Season:: Area 1: Oct. 1 to May 31 - Area 2: Jan 1 to May 31 - Area 3: Dec 1 to May 31
Limit: : Any number in accordance with number of tags held
NWT Resident: License Fee $10
Non-Resident Canadian: License Fee $20 + $750 trophy fee
Non-Resident Alien License Fee $50 + $750 trophy fee"
From Here
And this...
"POLAR BEAR LAW SUIT:
Regarding this issue, I have been in constant touch with the US Fish & Wildlife Service. They report that the Polar Bear Census indicates that bear populations are at the highest levels ever, and that they don't expect the Law Suit to be successful, and expect no changes for US Citizens in 2007."
From Here
I also went to the US Fish and Wildlife website and it looks like the Polar as of 2008 was /is listed as a special rule endangered species - but the bottom line is that the hunting permits have not been reduced from levels they have been at for decades, which certainly makes the case that the suckers are not really an endangered species, else hunting permits would be reduced, and costs for hunting them would most certainly rise and the rules and times for hunting would certainly become much more complex than what has been quoted above.
Do your own search and let me know if you can find evidence that hunting these beautiful deadly creatures will be curtailed anytime in the near future.
In the meantime, don't worry about the polar bears folks. Even if the ice goes away completely, they have dealt with that situation before since the Earth Has Spent Most of Its Time Without Ice Caps.
Thank ya, thank ya very much.
