I believe that being stuffed will further educate children and adults on the beauty and dignity of our wild life. Most people will never get this close to really see a polar bear.
It's an honor, like a painting or a statue. He will be there for all to see and read about.
I understand your feelings Kirstian, he was not just a polar bear, he was a loved part of many peoples lives. This way his greatness and beauty can be seen and shared by others.
In the ground he does nothing but turn to ashes.
