They are black bears not brown and the army has (apparantly) just started to buy skins from culled bears again because they have run out of busbys. They tried fake fur but it doesn't stand up to being worn by all accounts.
The news report I saw stated that the army insisted on Spring culled bears because the fur was thicker. As this is the time when nursing mothers are out and desperately hungry then they are going to be easy targets. Canada needs to take charge of its own land and regain control from the cowboys or they'll be targeted by animal activists.
