Why Social Media is enriching our lives, while it eats away at the fabric of our society.

Many smaller bears are killed and eaten by larger bears. Other,usually smaller, die of starvation because of over population.
Okay. Still I don't see how this correlates to the social media trophy hunt that was posted.
I understand bear cannibalism relating to starvation is usually associated with polar bears. Otherwise, it is often associated with infanticide (killing young to increase mating opportunities).
Both may be taken as nature working for the strongest gene pool for species survival.
And "many" may be 25%. Yet, one cannot legally hunt a polar bear in the US. So conservationists don't seem to think killing adult polar bears is generally the way to go to protect cubs (or subadults).
I don't see how the subject trophy bear hunt can be taken as good for that area's bear gene pool. And I didn't hear anyone in the video assert such an egalitarian claim, which a conservationist might.

Why are you polluting the hunting thread with this?
Who is moderating the moderators??
Are you MSU?
I had really appreciated the civil discord, and lack of name calling, up to this point.
Why are you stalking me?
Have a nice day!
Fact is I got my hunter's safety card in PA at 12. I have spent many ruts on Dolly Sods in a tree with a bow.
I never said I was against hunting, being outdoors, or having a greater connection to acquisition of food. I only expressed a pointed opinion about certain trophy hunting and the reality of what is sold as "conservation."
