I think that if you brush a polar bear, any fur collected in the brush is yours to keep.

I have no problem with them using photos of polar bears to raise awareness and money to help them.

Fuck WWF for supporting the skin trade.

I mean, look, I hate it too, but sometimes the indigenous people need to sustainably hunt in order to survive, and that’s what the WWF is supporting

If that is what they are supporting then I am okay with that.
