What a bald eagle is to Americans, Bears are to Russians. They have been depicted in stories, games, advertisements, even in various national expressions like the flag of the top political party in Russia.
But in the present times, the perception is fast changing.
I am an advocate of well regulated hunting. Game hunting is a popular American activity and I believe controlled and regulated hunting is actually good for conservation and preservation of otherwise endangered species.
Initially the idea may sound contrary to popular belief of banning hunting to help the animals from extinction but it has been found that when hunting is legalized, it actually leads to more numbers and better preservation of a species because now they have a value on their head.
