It isn't really about holding down polar bear population as much as it is about feeding the ego of would be big game hunters for $$$. Left alone, mother nature will regulate animal populations.
You can even go hunt the fabulous musk ox, for money. But why? They look impressive, but it's like shooting fish in a barrel. They are raised like cattle in many places. Big whoop! Might just as well go to the local dairy and pay the farmer to let you kill one of his cows. Cut down on cow farts?

The fact is ... there are too many polar bears so the international community engages in annual harvests. The amazing part is that people still send money to scam organizations claiming to save the polar bears.
