"Hunting polar bears is already banned in the U.S. But due to a huge loophole in the Marine Mammal Protection Act, American trophy hunters can travel to Canada, kill a polar bear, and bring back polar bear trophies, wrote Young."

As with most "animal rights" info it is again misinformed. It's not a loophole in the MMPA but a CITES issue that was fought long and hard for by hunter's groups like SCI to allow for the importation of legally taken trophies.
