These polar bear hunts are an important source of income for natives, who still (partly) live off the land. The hunts are well managed, and don’t harm the population of bears. Trophy animals are well past their prime reproductive years — they’ve already passed on their genes. Harvesting them simply provides mating opportunities for some of the younger boars.

If I recall, the guy in post number 8 legally bought a permit from the Canadian natives.
