Russia Has Lift The Ban On Polar Bear Hunting

This is some really disturbing news. I can not believe governments are actually legalizing inhumane treatment of animals so openly. The most recent development is that Russia has legalized the hunting of polar bears for the first time in more than half a century.

That is terrible news for the endangered polar bears. Already their numbers are shrinking. 2000 polar bears live in this area. Ten years ago there were 5000 of them. Overall, some 20,000-25000 polar bears are alive globally. These numbers are hardly impressive enough. We have already done lots of damage.

Yet, the Russian governor from Chukotka - Roman Kopin has signed a decree that allows the area's people to kill 29 polar bears each year. I mean what the hell is all this? Is this some sort of a crazy competition?

The authorities are defending their decision by saying that hunting polar bears for their meat and fur has always been a tradition in the Chukchi culture in the Russian Arctic. They said hunters will not be allowed to export bear skins or sell their meat commercially. As if this is going to bring the dead animals back!

The critics are shouting out loud against this move because the habitat of polar bears are shrinking and there is already enough poaching going on around. It is such ruthless decisions that are disturbing the socio-ecological environment immensely.

This is absolutely insane. These people are ruling the world and just look at the inhuman stuff they are carrying out. Shame on these guys! I don't know how do they sleep well after doing such unkind things!

End Aerial Hunting Before Its Too Late

Some people just do this for the thrill of watching something die a slow, painful death. Others, though, have a reason which seems just as idiotic, they want the wolves to stop hunting moose and caribou so that they could hunt them.

These people get in a slow, low flying aircraft and target a wolf. They do this in the winter so the wolves would be easier to track. They get close enough and a gunner shoots at the wolf. They do this until the wolf can't stand, then they land and shoot the wolf. It’s a very slow process and very painful to the wolf.

If you really stop to think about it, wolves are almost the same as us. They have the same characteristics. If we all keep things the way they are then these creatures will go extinct.

If you still aren't convinced then put yourself in a wolf's position. Imagine that you’re in a snow covered opening with hardly any trees in sight. Then you hear a strange motor sound. You start running away but the strange thing is catching up to you. Out of nowhere a loud sound hits your ears and you’re in agony. You still try to run thinking of your pack that you can't leave then the same sound comes. This continues again and again, most bullets miss but the ones that hit send pure agony through your body until you collapse. The creatures come forth and you are powerless to stop the final blow. So now think of it, do you want anything to suffer like that?
