B.S. we just had a baby polar bear shipped out of Alaska and there was A LOT of money that was involved with that and I don't see why they could have capitalized on these cubs in the same way other then they wanted to murder helpless animals for FUN! This is disgusting behavior and I hope it gets dealt with accordingly

they could have been raised for make a wish hunting etc., no one wants to work in government jobs anymore, just take the top pay and retire out of this hell hole they are making it

You made the right decision, good job. It's hard to make tough decisions any more without all the do rights that have nothing better to do then second guess the people we pay to make tough decisions. Thank you for not allowing these cubs to suffer.

You could have at least let them tried. Shooting someone in the back is not humane. Shooting a baby animal is not either.

If Christians are caretakers of God's world, they are in danger of being fired. There would have been a place for the cubs had the effort been made. Some peole like to kill. This is a poor choice.

Michael, Christians have been pushed out of leadership roles in most of the world. Don't blame us for present atrocities. Also, it was plainly stated that efforts were made to find homes for the cubs. Nobody who could care for them had room. Sometimes there are no good solutions.

shame on us. Those bears were doing nothing but living their lives. The sow was doing what comes naturally...protecting her young. Contrary to popular belief, they are not encroaching on us, WEEEEE are encroaching on what little we leave them, we are out of control, tear down, build, etc. Animals were here before us. It is OUR responsibility to watch and protect. shame, shame, shame on ever wasteful, ever destroying humans!!!
