Why are bears poached?

Why were polar bears hunted?

They were and still are hunted for many reasons here are some:

First, they are killed for their beautiful fur. Second, they are killed for a game in Canada where they win trophies for the most polar bear kills. We do have a law from taking the trophies in to America. People also eat polar bears and you can't eat a polar bear without killing it.

Is their poaching still going on?

Polar bears are still being poached, more than 700 polar bears are killed a day.That is a lot of polar bears, so, it will be really hard to stop poaching.
