  I live in the valleys of south Wales. Walk through old coal mining areas and you’ll occasionally find lumps of it on the ground.

  Chances are (and I’m up for being corrected on this). The bears are being culled to maintain population levels.

  In all areas of the world, human interaction with nature means we’ve upset the usual ecosystem balance. We’ve moved predator/prey ecosystems, we’ve changed their sizes and we’ve decided there are big areas we just don’t want the predators. Culling/management is necessary to minimise our further impact.

  These bears are going to be shot with or without the furs being used. They’re not being killed so someone can have the fancy hats.
