Btw, I obviously need to do a bit more research on Polar Bear populations, but saw this article listed on Drudge that contained this blurb that indicates Polar Bears have been FAR MORE ENDANGERED than they are today:

Other experts see a healthier population. They note that there are more than 20,000 polar bears roaming the Arctic, compared to as few as 5,000 40 years ago, before Canada, Denmark, Norway, the Soviet Union and the United States agreed to strong restrictions on trophy hunting in the 1970's.

I mean.. what do we do.. protect them to the point where they starve because they have depleted the available prey (inflicting their own local extinction)??
