polar bear san diego zoo

I'm appalled that people would pay to shoot these bears. This is no longer a case of the Inuit needing the bears for subsistence; to say that their way of life is threatened because they can no longer sell the right to kill an endangered species calls into question which ways of life must be protected. If my indigenous group supported itself through any other distasteful means, would there be an obligation for others to allow this to continue? The reasoning here is faulty, and I'm afraid that the sentient being is going to have to lose this round.

Thanks, Carol Butler
