What's this all about?https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/15/wwf-helping-facilitate-trade-in-polar-bear-fur-investigation-reveals

This article doesn't reflect our position fairly. We oppose all unsustainable & illegal hunting, but it's a complex issue. We recognise the rights of local & Indigenous peoples and the role of animals in their cultures, and work with them to ensure this happens sustainably.

Oppose unsustainable ! You are are a charity set up to protect animals or are we the stupid ones

paranormalpagan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nothing about killing an animal for trophy and trade is ‘complex’. You’re an animal charity. Put the animals first or close down the charity. Pathetic, disgusting, money grabbing and immoral. Worded wrong or not, this should never have been an article. Do your charity’s purpose and protect animals.

Why are you supporting the hunting of Polar Bears and in support of trophy hunting? This is disgraceful and disgusting, your organisation relies on donations from people who love animals and you do this. I hope you get your charity status revoked soon.

We believe the recent Guardian article misrepresents WWF’s position on polar bear conservation and we are addressing inaccuracies with the publication. Please see our statement here: https://wwf.panda.org/?13500441/Guardian-response-polar-bears

The article refers to enabling TROPHY HUNTING.

Wanna try gaslighting that one?

emilynett.bsky.social•8 days ago

But this is not about indigenous people is slaughter of polar bears by Canada so China can have their blood soaked rugs and you are complicit

pmchoan.bsky.social•8 days ago

"Despite their endangered status, polar bears are hunted commercially in Canada, the only country that still allows the practice after it was banned by Russia, Greenland, the US and Norway."

What's your position on the commercial hunting of polar bears in Canada ?

Could you imagine a world in which the WWF facilitates trade in polar bear fur??

wwf.org.uk•8 days ago

The recent Guardian article doesn't reflect our position fairly. Our position on keeping polar bears on CITES Appendix II is founded in science, which tells us that international trade is not currently a major threat to the species, unlike climate change and associated habitat loss.

hippyvalley.bsky.social•7 days ago

WWF "backs policy for...
TROPHY HUNTING" 😡🤬🩸

pmchoan.bsky.social•7 days ago

Given that climate change, and the associated threat to habitat loss, provide a major threat to the species, is it wise to allow the commercial hunting of polar bears ?

punkybirder.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh that’s ok then. I’m sure the polar bears are perfectly happy to be killed for their furs.
WWF founded by big game hunters. Vile.

lga7.bsky.social•7 days ago

Oh that's ok then, let's shoot them for fun if it's not a major threat to the species. What an appalling answer. I guess we should have known though, with the elephant hunter's king of spain being your former honorary president. What's next, sponsoring corridas?
