Spread Awareness About Polar Bears Before They Die Out

The Issue

Many Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) are being killed for fur and for sport.We need to stop this killing in order to save them. The Government has limited the amount of Polar Bears that can be killed each day, but this rule isn’t enforced. Another reason why Polar Bears are dying is because they are starving. A polar bear has to walk 20 miles a day just to find something to eat. If it does not find something to eat, it starves. Twenty miles is like walking from Greenville to Spartanburg. This is good exercise because a typical Polar Bear can run about 30 mph. However even though they are fast, they sometimes can’t find food. We need to spread awareness about Polar Bears. Polar Bears can have 1 to 4 cubs at once, and most of the times the cubs are twins. Female polar bears are pregnant for 6 and 1/2 to 9 months. Polar Bears are also the world’s biggest bears that are 8 feet tall and 800 to 1600 pounds. The oldest polar bear ever recorded was 32. All Polar Bears are carnivores. They mostly eat the Ringed Seal. Meat is an important part of their diet. They also eat Walrus meat and Beluga Whale meat. The Walrus and Beluga Whale are not endangered. We recommend using these two UN- endangered animals to feed the Polar Bears at the zoo. I want your support for saving the Polar Bears. You support /signature could spread awareness about Polar Bears across the world.nEvery year 15 Polar Bears die naturally, however every year 300-500 Polar Bears are killed by humans.The number of Polar Bears on earth is decreasing and as of today there are only about 23,000. That means if we don’t change our habits, Polar Bears could be gone in as early as the next 41 years.
