normal bears

Answer 4

Polar bear population is actually up over the last ten years. It is propaganda that they are all dying. they were added for political reasons.

The only thing that should be added to the list for protection and research is the honey bee as we all depend on them and their numbers are dwindling at an alarming rate.

Answer 5

i can't think of any. but i feel really bad for the polar bears =(

Answer 6

I think it's terrible how many rhinos are killed for their horns.  how stupid using it for an aphrodisiac.  Elephants too.  I think the these animals are already being protected, but you still have those rotten poachers out there killing every chance they get.  All animals should be protected.  I don't believe in killing for a sport.  Mankind is ignorant.  In ancient times, animals were killed for food, clothing, every part of the animal was used, there's nothing wrong with that, but today, there is no reason to kill an animal for furs, shoes, or anything.

Answer 15

I think whales should be the next on the list because the way the Japanese are killing them here in the Australian waters, (and probably everywhere else too), there won't be any left, or very few anyway. The next will be sharks and dolphins for the same reason.
