International outrage rises over Canadian polar bear hunt

From the article:

After three days of meetings, five Arctic countries -- Canada, Norway, the United States, Russia and Denmark -- declared Friday in Tromsoe, Norway that climate change is the most important threat facing polar bears.

The countries all signed the 1973 Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears, which was originally designed to protect the bears from hunting.

Of the five, only Canada allows the hunt.

Inexplicable that we recognise the threat of global warming to an yet endangered species, whereas one of the major range countries for the polar bear actually allows them to be hunted ... But curious to say the least with all international legislation concerning polar bear conservation.
