  Ed, being somewhat of a fan of polar bears I loved the pictures.
  
  Back on topic, I am not sure where Barry is getting the information on so-called culling but it would pay to be suspicious. The Japanese try to maintain that culling of whales is neccessary (for their dinner plates) and Canadian authorities have often claimed a need to 'cull' seal cubs (then the pelts end up on the market). Fox hunters still try to claim it is neccessary to control numbers even though they have been proved to have bred them for hunts in some areas. An American SF writer once satarised the whole situation in a novel called 'Little Fuzzy' in which settlers on a planet tried to convince the authorities that the natives of the mineral rich planet were not sentient because they were furry. Culling is too often a poor excuse for hunting and commerce.
