Hope that was in jest... Have spoken to USFWS Officers a number of times about such and that is not their belief. But seeing the CA thing, that may very well change the local attitude. I believe CA law says you cannot even have pre-'72 polar bear there. Many AK living rooms would horrify a CA officer... between ivory, baleen, Native crafts with polar bear and sea otter fur... and much more.
It is all good as far as I care. No offense taken, intended, or even hinted at.
