      “The bear was killed Thursday afternoon in the northwest of Iceland after police consulted the Environment Agency, which declined to have the animal relocated.”

      couldn’t they put it to sleep and move somewhere far?

      Wow… Iceland handled this situation so unprofessionally like some third world country

      >*”The bear was very close to a* ***summer*** *house. There was an old woman in there. She stayed there, other summer residents in the area had gone home. She knew the danger. After the shot bear was taken away, the woman who reported it* ***decided to stay longer*** *in the village.”*

      That bear swam and floated about 300 km, and all he got was a garbage bin dinner and a bullet. He died seemingly only because some old broad insisted on extending her vacation. Now, since she’s still refusing to leave, perhaps another bear will come and will be needlessly killed again.

      Why not shoot it with a tranquilizer? Wtf. If they set this precedent then what comes next with climate change?

      It is not rare. It is not a special kind of polar bear. It just took the wrong turn, somewhere.

      Look like the police and the Environment Agency were very useful.

      How freaking sad… that animal did nothing wrong but existing…

      Polar bears are very adept human hunters to the extent that you’d be significantly safer being in vicinity of a grizzly bear, a lion or a tiger. Total shame for the bear but if you don’t have the facilities to deal with them you can’t blame the authorities.

      The community with the very best resources in the world for staying safe from polar bears ( and allowing polar bears to survive contact with humans) is Churchill, Manitoba, and despite special equipment , tranq guns, and advanced training, the police there will occasionally have to kill a bear as well.

      Transporting a polar bear from Iceland to Greenland involves several factors and costs, including:

      ### 1. **Legal and Ethical Considerations**
      – **Permits and Regulations:**
      – Costs for obtaining permits for wildlife transport can vary widely. They may range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the regulations in both countries.

      ### 2. **Veterinary Costs**
      – **Health Check and Vaccinations:**
      – A veterinary examination is required before transport. Costs can range from $200 to $500.
      – **Sedation (if necessary):**
      – Sedation may be needed for transport, costing around $100 to $300.

      ### 3. **Transportation Costs**
      – **Air Transport:**
      – The cost of chartering a flight or using a specialized animal transport service can range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on the distance and logistics.
      – **Ground Transport to the airport:**
      – This could cost around $500 to $1,500.

      ### 4. **Specialized Crating**
      – **Crate Construction:**
      – A sturdy, animal-safe crate could cost between $300 and $1,000.

      ### 5. **Insurance**

      – Insurance costs could add another $200 to $500.

      ### 6. **Additional Costs**

      – Costs for food and care during the journey can add another $100 to $300.

      ### **Estimated Total Cost**
      Considering all factors, the total cost could range from approximately **$6,500 to $20,000** or more, depending on specific circumstances and requirements.

      ### **Conclusion**
      Before proceeding with such a transport, it’s critical to consult with wildlife specialists, veterinary professionals, and legal authorities to ensure compliance with all regulations and the welfare of the animal.

      I thought I had sorted by controversial but no lol wtf is this comment section

      In this country where is very likely to meet a polar bear police should carry also special guns
      that don’t kill but use unaesthetic bullets.
      The poor animal doesn’t carry a gun and of course didn’t plan to harm anyone This is it’s nature.

      Speaking as someone who lives in Norway, where we do have polar bears on some of our more polar territories… this comment section is one hell of a trip.

      (At Svalbard, it’s mandatory to carry a gun with you at all times when you’re outside. And you shoot polar bears on sight, unless they’re far enough away that you feel safe enough to try a warning shot first. These animals are *dangerous*, guys.)
