Polar bears are not endangered. In fact,with an estimated population approaching 25,000, there are now more polar bears than at any other time in recorded history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_bears#cite_note-PBI-26).
The poles are not melting. There is more observed total ice cover now than in the past 50 years (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1242011/DAVID-ROSE-The-mini-ice-age-starts-here.html).
The global temperature is dropping (http://www.dailytech.com/Temperature+Monitors+Report+Widescale+Global+Cooling/article10866.htm).
Polar environments are not being ravaged. They remain unchanged from what was first observed in the 19th century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_ecology).
I personally do not approve of hunting for other than providing food. But unlike NRDC or a Kennedy, I refuse to force my views upon others. I would suggest that Robert Kennedy instead devote his time to making whole the children and grandchildren of those brutalized by the old gangster and bootlegger himself, Joe Kennedy, Sr.
Polar bears are simply a variety of brown bear. If we ran out of polar bears we could probably breed up another bunch by carefully selecting brown bears.
I don't go to his concerts anymore.
Where can I find a polar bear rug? Not Wal Mart!
Where can I support the hunters?
And how much is a Polar Bear rug? (Probably in the $10Ks, but I’m curious!)
Perhaps Mr. Kennedy is worried about a die-off but instead uses “extinct” improperly?
Or is he being deliberately inflammatory using code words to incite a riot among followers? Why that couldn't be!
Besides, American and Canadian Indians are not subject to laws like this. And I'll bet that citizens of Mother Russia are among the worst offenders that offend a Kennedy.
I'm guessing the writer is not warming up to Sarah, despite her nice, toasty polar bear rug that would look great in the Oval Office.
blah blah blah....enviro crap polluting the atmosphere yet again

I say leave the polar bear alone. The parts are probably being sold to some Asian so he can have a hard you know what.
I favor opening a season on polar bears and hunting them from helicopters. To be followed by seal-clubbing season (no bag limit) and Whale-fest (harpoon and release).
To hell with these self-appointed “guardians”. It’s my planet too.
Are Polar Bear rugs for sale anywhere on the net? Any idea of the approximate price?
I personally don't hunt for other than food either, but I have other resources I use to pay the bills. There is more global warming crap in the article below, but it explains that the Inuits in Davis Strait area are allowed to kill six bears a year. I have no problem with these hunters selling legal products from the bear to feed, clothe, and support their families.
is this the goofy looking Kennedy tat shoots dope?
Good news! I just shared this article with a whole room full of Inupiaq and Yup’ik high school students - what some folks would call Eskimos. I just told them about this. They asked why Obama and his supporters would do this. I said it was because they’re a bunch of arrogant snobs who think that they can tell other people how to live their lives. I heard a lot of murmuring about how Obama, environmentalists, and other like them are contemptable, although the kids used cruder and more colorful language.
Call it the reverse Gramscii. I’m making the long march through THEIR institution.
No child left behind indeed.
