We feed cattle on the plains when the weather is cold. I am a teacher so I could spend a few weeks during the Summer to do this and would be willing to donate money to do it. I hate to see these pictures of the bears swimming and coming ashore tired and too weak to catch walruses. It is heartbreaking.</p> Could we start feeding polar bears?
