Tom Svensson says:

I was on Svalbard to visit my son that worked on a cruise ship. During a walk in town (Longyearbyen) I saw a shop selling different kinds of skins and on the wall they had a polar bear. In my point of view, that seemed very odd. So I had a talk with the owner of the shop and she said she sells in a year many to tourists and the skins usually come from Canada. Why would anyone want to have these amazing animals on the wall at home? They belong in freedom and not on a wall or a floor. This is what happens if we don’t educate tourists how to behave. The animals are not ours to use as we want.
