I think it\'s sad that this was shot and killed rather than tagged and released for study, but I don\'t see that big of an issue. My only issue is that I don\'t agree with hunting for trophy. I know several hunters (especially deer), and all of them hunt and eat what they kill, like derick mentioned. After all, you\'ve heard of the food chain, haven\'t you?
Kidding aside, I also know several vegeterians and some vegans. Neither group bothers me. I\'m somewhere in the middle, with very little red meat in my diet (a few times every couple of months is a lot). If the hunter recognised that there was something different about the bear, asumed it was a unique hybrid and still shot then he is at fault. But even if that\'s true, he would never admit to it.
If you read the article, you know that this hybrid has been speculated for years but never identified
in the wild. They have cross bread in captivity. That means that this was not the only one. Also, as the climate changes and grizzlies move even further north into polar bear teritory, more cross breading will happen. It\'s evolution baby.
