Reportedly, approximately 5000 polar bears have been hunted for sport in the Canadian Arctic region. This information has been brought to light by various sources.
Regrettably, the act of hunting these majestic creatures is depicted as a thrilling experience for trophy hunters. Numerous hunting enterprises profit significantly by catering to these brutal desires.
One such enterprise is Worldwide Trophy Adventures. They even extend the offer of a second ten-day hunting trip if the customer fails to kill a polar bear on their initial endeavor.
On their website, the company provides packages where an “experienced Eskimo guide and a dog” facilitate the hunt. Additionally, there is a “field reconnaissance” conducted beforehand, with the hunt concluding upon the killing of a polar bear.
In 2008, the United States prohibited the import of hunting trophies and designated these animals as endangered species. However, Norway stands as the sole nation where hunting them is entirely forbidden.
Although Canadian Eskimos are authorized to hunt polar bears for sustenance, they often sell their licenses to trophy hunters. This practice has been highlighted by the Daily Mirror.
The cost for an American to partake in a twelve-day polar bear hunt exceeds $1000, with an additional $44,000 for the hunting expedition itself.
The notion of hunting and killing such a magnificent animal is unfathomable, particularly considering their endangered status and vulnerability to climate change and scarcity of food.
The idea of killing polar bears solely for display as trophies in living rooms or as rugs on floors is abhorrent.
