Actually they are not a protected species.

I know people that are going on a trip near the Arctic Circle to hunt and kill a polar bear. Each. And for the money they're paying they'll most assuredly get one even if they have to track one by helicopter.

They don't eat the meat just simply send it to a taxidermist to have it stuffed.

Yes. They are hunted for warmth (from fur) and for meat.

No, but you need a permit, which costs a lot of money.

The native Inuits are allowed to hunt polar bears for sustenance because it is part of their ancient traditions.

Yes, you can get permits to do so because they are not endangered and their numbers are growing.
