Polar bear to Japan?

The Japa­ne­se zoo Nihond­ai­ra has appli­ed for a fema­le polar bear from Spits­ber­gen to be deli­ver­ed to Japan, for exhi­bi­ti­on tog­e­ther with a male bear that alre­a­dy lives in the zoo, and to pro­du­ce off­spring.

The Sys­sel­man­nen in Lon­gyear­ben reac­ted reluc­tant­ly, say­ing a good reason could not be seen to catch a polar bear in Spits­ber­gen for deli­very to a Japa­ne­se zoo, and that the mat­ter is not rea­li­stic. Polar bears are com­ple­te­ly pro­tec­ted in Spits­ber­gen sin­ce 1973.
