Yeah the bear was rummaging for food near a home occupied by a single elderly woman who called the police because she was scared.
She is a permanent resident in a summer cabin community and was all alone. She had to call her daughter in Reyjavik via Satellite phone to get assistance.
Probably the only “action” the police got in 40 years. Poor polar bear.
Polar bears eat anything, they are highly cannibalistic too.
Polar bears aren’t native to Iceland; the environmental agency refused to relocate the bear to Greenland after it ostensibly arrived by floating over…
Sad but makes sense that an expensive operation involving specialized (air) transport, financial and logistical coordination between the two nations (kingdom of Denmark and Iceland), and tranquilizing a large, dangerous animal would be denied since they’re not at immediate risk of extinction.
If it’s black, fight back
If it’s brown, lie down
If it’s white, good night
:,(
Polar bears are more dangerous than grizzlies.
They did the right thing.
The ancient and terrible war between polar bears and Björk must never reach Iceland’s shores.
Sometimes you have to shoot animals. Polar bears are extremely dangerous.
the climate is so fucked now the animals are getting fucked over too.. this is just sad all around
Yeah it sucks to have a polar bear killed you just don’t want these things lurking around any sort of population especially a population not expecting to have polar bears around
Man, that poor thing looks emaciated. Probably hadn’t eaten in weeks.
324km distance to Greenland from northwest tip of Iceland. It would be quite difficult to move it that far without the proper expertise and equipment (Churchill MB does this quite often; it’s called the polar bear capital of the world). Still a shame.
It was probably starving after being on a drifting ice flow. They normally eat seals, but there likely wouldn’t be any in the middle of the Denmark Strait.
Look let’s be honest. A polar bear that far from the ice pack is a hazard. They’re the only animal left that regularly sees humans a food anyway, so a hungry polar bear is even more dangerous.
Rightfully so, those bears are legit threats to humans.
Good, better him than the elderly woman who was in danger. Right choice
Anyone downvoting this knows nothing of Polar Bears.
Did anyone try to offer it a Coca Cola? Everybody knows that polar bears love Coca Cola the commercials on Christmas said so.Brown bears drink Hamm’s beer and steal picnic baskets and black bears will carjack you.I saw a video of one opening a truck and started rummaging through it for food
The effects of climate change. Endangered species may become extinct as food source runs out.
Having seen one in the wild while working, they did the right thing. We are not meant to be near each other. Either you are getting killed and eaten or you are killing them in self defense.
Fucking cops, always shooting incredibly dangerous and starving animals in close proximity to vulnerable people. I bet they didn’t even try to deescalate.
Good news everyone!
Initially, the topic made me raging angry, I understand and support the decision, as tragic and sad as it is.
If they didn’t shoot it the article would’ve read…
“A rare polar bear showed up on the shores of Iceland and attacked the village of (whatever). Multiple dead and wounded.”
FYI: Polar bears are not native to Iceland. No large indigenous terrestrial mammals there.
Poor bear. What have we done
So sad
If you run into one on the ice and it sees you, even if it’s a little dot on the horizon because of how far away it is, doesn’t matter, it will make its way over to you because they consider anything moving to be food.
Was definitely gonna eat that old lady and shit all over her house.
Can confirm /s
It swam for hundreds of miles and then got shot.
