The video illustrates how polar bears can be vulnerable to spear thrusts. Many polar bears were killed by inuit hunters using dogs and spears.

They probably just wanted to discuss the ramifications of global warming on the seal population and maybe eat him.

"Consider if the man had a spear instead of a pole. The bear could have sustained a deadly chest wound if the man had used slightly different tactics at the beginning."

And while he was struggling to pull the spear from the first bear, the second bear would have eaten his face.

Probably happened somewhere near Warsaw. After all, it looks like it’s in Pole-land. 🙄

8 beleive that in some places, a test of bravery is to find grizzlies and get them tk,charge and spear them and jam the other spear end into the ground. Supposedly a Russian MMA fighter did just that, killing the bear off with knives. Alex emilianenko

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Emelianenko

“Emelianenko likes hunting and once told in an interview that he killed a bear by piercing through its throat with a bear spear and then stabbing it in the heart with a knife, a traditional way of Russian bear hunting”

Good thing he didn’t use a firestick. Trudeau would have him arrested.

Reminds me of this story a man told to friends:
I was walking through woods when confronted be a bear. I took off running and after about 100 feet I came to a sudden stop. When the bear slid by me I reversed direction and ran in the opposite direction. After about 100 feet I again stopped and the bear slid by me again. After doing this two more times the bear gave up and left. One of my friends said if that happened to me I would have s**t my pants. I told him “what do you think the bear was sliding on”?

Any animal can successfully defend itself. With most anything.

Just go for the eyes. A half blind bear/wolf/lion/etc is dead the next time it attacks some other food bit. They know it. They will back off.

Wolverines, badgers, cornered rat. Every one of them can survive a massive attack.

You don’t have to kill the attacker. Just remind them that it is important to them to survive the NEXT meal.
