Dear Representative __________________________________ and
Senators _______________________________________________:
As a registered voter in your district, I advocate passage of the Polar Bear Protection Act (S. 1406/H.R. 2327). If you have not yet co-sponsored this bill, please review its content and become a co-sponsor.
You are likely aware of the polar bear's uncertain fate, due to melting Arctic ice and loss of habitat. In addition, trophy hunters threaten polar bear numbers. Since 1994, prize hunters have ferried polar bear hides and heads from the Canadian Artic into the U.S. That same year, polar bear imports were exempted from language in the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act that classified polar bears a protected species.
Now, more than ever, a ban on importation of polar bear goods needs to be reinstated. The Polar Bear Protection Act prohibits importation of heads and hides, further shielding these magnificent animals from American trophy hunters.
While solutions for climate change require long-term input from citizens and governments — you can help endangered polar bears right now by supporting S. 1406/H.R. 2327.
Thank you,
