According to the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho, has introduced a Senate version of a House Bill introduced by Rep. Don Young of Alaska. This bill, S1395, would provide a means to import polar bears into the country.
Even though polar bears are listed as a threatened species by the United States Government, Canada does not recognize that listing and still provides limited polar bear hunting opportunities, as do other countries around the globe. The polar bear is far from being a threatened species as the population has grown significantly in the past few decades and continues even today.
