Boing Boing picked up on a small but adorable protest held in Washington last week that we missed. A Greenpeace activist, dressed in a polar bear suit, was arrested on Jan. 31 after protesting in a paddleboat in a park pond in front of the Department of Interior. Greenpeace set up the boat and costume to protest the Bush Administration’s delay in issuing a final Endangered Species Act listing for the polar bear due to global warming.

Towleroad has more photos, including a pretty funny shot of a police officer decked out in waders to go in after the “polar bear.”
