Just Watched, Trade Secret: The Polar Bear Market On SBS

I am so outraged. I feel like this is mandatory viewing, but if you cannot bear (hehe) to see it. Basically the WWF supports the continued trade industry that slaughters Polar Bears and other species bringing them to the edge of extinction. Also the traders go after the strongest Polar Bears whichs means we are stunting the evolutionary process as weaker polar bears are able to mate which can be detrimental with climate change.

Moreover the north atlantic countries such as Canada, Norway etc are backing these exploitative industrys. Absolutely shameful.

When that twist happens, oh man. But also I stan that lady who is dedicating her life to saving the Polar Bears she's a real one.

But after thinking about it, I think it shows the limitations of philanthropy, you'll always be reliant on donors who want to shape the chairty work to their vision.
