I hope someone from Alaska chimes in here. I have visited the state twice and can attest to the fact that there are a lot of hunters and fishermen there, it is a way of life. Chances are that that bear was shot for food and why waste the fur? If it were made into clothing many of you would find that upsetting as well.
As for the politics (and I don't want to start that discussion), the residents of Alaska were happy to have her back as a governor when she lost the election.
