Police have shot and killed a polar bear that came ashore in northwestern Iceland, the first sighting of a polar bear there since 2016. It might have hitched a ride from Greenland on a floating iceberg.

    If you’re going to regularly shoot a polar bear every 8 years, that seems like you’re starting a new tradition rather than following a policy.

      Polar bears hunt humans for food. You cannot scare them away, you and your loved ones are prey. You will not win a fight against them, they are too big and too strong.

      Unless you are fine being dinner, then yes, the polar bear is getting shot.

          Cool, go out there and volunteer to be their dinner.

          Always some edgelord commenting on “we need less humans”, never willing to be the less human themselves though.
