H.R. 2327 Polar Bear Protection Act of 2007
Purpose: This bill would amend the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to strengthen polar bear conservation efforts. The MMPA established a moratorium on the import of marine mammals and marine mammal products, including the import of all sport-hunted marine mammal trophies. However, in 1994, the MMPA was modified to allow the import of sport-hunted trophies from Canada. H.R. 2327 would delete that provision.

This is the second such attack in Columbia in less than a year.
