Agree, D! It's a whole lot different from the Inuits, who use the bear for food and items. Global warming is going to force the bears further north, and then what will the Intuits do? Will they be forced to head north as well?

But as far as the trophy hunters go - they make me sick! Living right across from a game ranch, I can't begin to tell you the hatred I have for these kind of people. As you said, there are so many good, worthwhile things they could do with that money.

And are we supposed to feel sorry for this jacka$$?

A travesty on so many levels...
