What, aren't a lot of those endangered/protected? Grizzly bear? Seriously? Who even eats that?
Until the 1970s it was legal to hunt grizzly in my state, and it is still legal in Canada and Alaska. The meat just tastes like black bear, a little different just as whitetail deer tastes different from elk. There are a lot of them in my state and the biologists want to delist them, but the eco-freaks want to keep them "endangered" because they raise more money on them that way.
They are far from endangered.
As for Walrus, seal and whale, the Indians and Eskimos are allowed to hunt a limited number each year, and if you know the right people you can get a little to sample.
Otherwise they fall under the Marine Mammal act and are protected.

Even seals are protected? But they're so plentiful...

The French, Swiss and Belgians also eat horses. The retired horses in North America are rounded up and slaughtered in Canada and then sent there to be eaten.
You can pick up venison and kangaroo at any supermarket in my area. Not rare at all.
You can pick up venison and veal in British supermarkets, as for Kangaroo have quite a strong tradition of animal rights in the UK and certain groups have been protesting against the stocking of what they term exotic meats in UK Supermarkets.
There are however an array of smaller butchers and on line retailers that sell exotic meat in the UK, and even the occasional supermarkets such as Lidl have started to sell Kangaroo and Reindeer. Although some argue that consuming certain exotic meats may be detrimental to your health and Animal Rights Groups have urged the boycotting of suppliers of such meats.
Culture is to blame for food ignorance .
Especially liberal tree huggers .
If it doesn't come from the store or the Mc Donald's , it's probably not fit to eat.
Kids have no idea where eggs come from and if you try an show or tell them you get this barrage of protective "my kids don't need to be seeing that, "yuck".
Though I grew up in the city dad still had chickens and rabbits and we had our own garden , I knew where My food came from.
I was beheading a chicken @8 years old per dad's assistance, and cleaning fish regularly.
Trying foods new to me has been a passion, sense I am now singe ,the wife had no interest in non traditional foods.
Doesn't mean I like them all but i am wiling to try them.
I like rattlesnake and squirrels and rabbits and game birds of all sorts .
If you gave me the choice , I'd choose venison over steak, unless my son is cooking ,He does a steak for me that nothing else compares. OK so I had a little to do with teaching him to cook .

It has nothing to do with liberal tree hugging, as a matter of fact they are probably better informed about animal treatment than the average guy. Ignorance, yes, but killing foor food also affects our sense for compassion, so it's quite natural that people don't want to see how their food is created. Still, it would be good for people to realize that for every steak you buy something have to die. Personally, I haven't gutted anything but fish, but still, you get the idea when having the fish's blood and guts all over your hands.
