No. Polar bears are natural enemies of seals just as seals are natural prey items to polar bears. More often than not, if an animal becomes endangered due to over predation it is because the predator is an introduced species (i.e. it's not native to the area) and it over hunts the prey animal. The classic example of this is the brown tree snake which was introduced to Guam and has since decimated many of the bird populations there because of over predation.
