By the title I though a polar bear and a Labrador got into a fight.

Getting dragged off by a polar bear. I’m surprised he survived.

“part of a Sierra Club hiking trip to the remote park. “

No pity.

Especially they built an electric fence and destroyed pristine cryptobiotic arctic soil diversity.

But I thought Nature was all Bambi and Thumper ...

This is what can happen when you voluntarily give up your spot at the top of the food chain.

The Sierra Club is worried about not enough polar bears. The polar bears are worried about not enough Sierra Club hikers.

Are they sure it was a bear? Perhaps this was an Inuit bear guard, dressed in a bear suit, angry that he wasn’t hired! (just joking here — no flames, please)

Cuz U.S. citizens can’t bring their handguns to Canada.

bear: "doesn't taste like chicken.. or seal.
...warm dinner in a wrapper (a burrito :), how convenient!"
stupid tree-hugger; you place..put yourself in prime polar bear country,
in the open without any real protection during their fattening phase just
before the 7 month hibernation period.

Richard Eisenberg was with Dyer and six other hikers as part of a Sierra Club hiking trip to the remote park.

Let's hope they've belatedly acquired some respect for nature.

From the article: “The bear fence advertisement said that it
works as a deterrent.” And, “Another hiker, ... who was on the trip ..., said he thinks Parks Canada should strongly consider changing its policy for those visiting the Torngat Mountains.

Typical socialists (they’re in the Sierra Club): They
want new rules and regulations to protect them. They can’t
just say, We were not acting intelligently. Instead they
use their desire for more government intrusion for everyone
to mask the reality of their own poor choices.

Polar bears are arguably the most aggressive of all bears and most don’t have much fear of people unlike other bears outside of those that hung around idiots like Timothy Treadwell.

Someone needs to look into a lawsuit against these despicable Sierra Club members for scaring this poor bear.Three to five years of jail time sounds about right.

File under humor, Sierra Club hiking trip members out to see the pretty unspoiled wilderness and the endangered polar bears end up as crunchy munchies for the polar bears.

"The bear fence advertisement said that it works as a deterrent," he said. "There was no reason to believe that that wasn't adequate."

Deterrents aren't foolproof, idiot. Dogs can go through electric fences if determined enough, let alone 1000 pound Polar Bears that do what bears do - eat. As far as the guide goes, were you rude to the Inuit by claiming to know their backyard better than them?
