STOP Legislation to end ban on importing polar bear trophies.

US Congressman Don Young of Alaska has introduced legislation to end the ban on importing polar bears trophies to the US.

Congressman Young's bill may thrill the wealthy trophy hunters who fund his campaign, but increased trophy hunting could spell disaster for one of the planet’s most beloved animals. In 2008, the US government listed polar bears as threatened under the Endangered Species Act — and scientists say that two-thirds of the world's wild polar bears could disappear by 2015. Declining sea ice and other stressors already point to a grim future for polar bears — we can't let trophy hunting endanger them even more!
Call on US decision makers to oppose the bill to lift the ban on importing polar bear trophies.
