The marine mammal protection act (MMPA)...

The MMPA ... The law that disallows non native man from taking polar bear in Alaska, but I would like to know more. I’d like you opinion and a discussion about this, and please keep this respectful.

I feel that it is well intentioned but ridiculous in certain respects. For example, Americans can legally hunt polar bear, walrus, and seals in Canada but are not allowed to import their animal back to the states. If you possess the proper paperwork you should be allowed to bring it back in my opinion.

It also disallows native from outfitting, where salaries are low, and prices are high. It also allows natives to take as many as they want, as long as the use some of the animal, and until the population is depleted.
