Wow, this is my first Question of the Week since May.  Yikes, I was really slacking, and I'm extremely sorry about that.  I feel like I can't apologize enough for my absence.  So I thought that I'd make the first question since my return allow me to see what everyone is interested in the realm of bears' welfare, environment, and so on.  I look forward to hearing your answers and will make note of them for future discussions.

What issue is of most concern to you when it comes to bears?

Thanks to everyone for your patience.  Take care now.

Well where to start..

Firstly, bears being said to be "nuisance bears" in the states, when in fact it is caused by human ignorance ie leaving garbage outside of houses. The bear then gets shot.

Also bile farming, bears in captivity and dancing bears. Worldwide bears are being exploited and it makes me so mad.

Dear members,

Hello, I am new here! So I would like to write an idea concerning the decreasing number of ice bears. As we know, the survival of the polar bears is depending on the ice that is unfortunately melting more and more away. I think that something must be done to give these animals a chance to survive. As mankind will not be able to stop the decrease of polar ice, the bears need to be offered another way of life in another place. Has anyone an idea what to do?
