  • We also allow it for grizzlies.

    It’s part of a population control system to make sure they don’t end up in human controlled areas or killing each other due to competing for limited resources.

    Same reason they do this in Africa for elephants.

    There are some 16,000 polar bears in Canada, and if a fifth of those have two cubs every second year that’s a lot of extra pressure on the food supply for them, which is already having issues.

    They’re endangered because there’s not enough food to support a larger population in the areas they live, not because they can’t have babies.
