I was aware of it, but why pass up adding a piece of info that shows another cool quality that polar bears evolved to have to help them thrive in their habitat?

No, they have some special ability I remember reading about that allows them to walk on impressively thin ice for their weight.

The dolphins being killed in Japan have no oversight and tracking them to find schools of tuna has recently been allowed again (I'm pretty sure) so that's 100K wasted, killed dolphins a year just from fishing tuna.

Anyways, it's so shocking to hear a gov't official say they're working on wage and vacation laws (from a vid you posted).. That shit should've been settled before fishing became a thing on a scale like it is. I think a big part is many Americans take so much can for granted they just have no idea the work that went into the plastic cup of seafood they just bought at the grocery store.

My question: how aware is the US gov't that these things go on? I mean there's got to be trading regulations or something like that isn't there?

I think also it should taken into account that the Inuits claiming this could be within one of the declining polar bear subpopulations, which could lead them to believe our science is hurting them. But really it's just that subpopulation & the others are tracked too but are stable.. For now.

Aren't polar bears considered more of a threat to humans than brown & black bears bc they seldom see humans and could perceive us as food?
