Shooting polar bears accelerates Global Warming, doesn’t it? Something like that. I heard it on TV, or somewhere. Bush lied, people died. I’m like, you know?

“The bear is believed to have swam either about 200 miles from Greenland or from some distant chunk of Arctic ice.”
If it had not been for the ice, this bear would be alive today. We need to melt that ice to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
To: Dick Vomer
probably a penguin that shot him...
From 12,000 miles away?

You gotta love the two consecutive sentences...
The last time a polar bear made a similar journey to reach Iceland was in 1993, and that bear was also shot to death.
The tragedy is being cited as a reminder of the impact that receding North Pole ice has on its animal inhabitants - the shrinking of the polar bears' hunting and mating grounds and the ripple effect on the area's eco-system.
Did global warming drive the 1993 bear to make the long swim, too? I thought temps were pretty stable back then.
To: Red Steel
Wow, two hundred mile swim!
Probably made the meat tough.

They’re easier to shoot when they’re tired!

A polar bear can swim 200 miles. But yet one picture of a polar bear on an iceberg and we are suppose to be in a panic,
Well said.

I’m no animals rights loony but that is down right sad.I don't know when blowing up, cutting down and blasting away at any semblance of natural beauty became a conservative value, and the words of some of your detractors suggest that conservatism is going to spend a long time wandering in the wilderness awaiting a new set of stone tablets.
To: Red Steel
I'm Ok with it. Don't see anything to feel bad about. A polar bear is a predator, they are known to hunt and eat people, and now it's dead. Plenty more where that one came from. Hope someone makes a good rug out of the bear.

I guess it was a better end than the probable tragic death that he would have suffered from global warming ........
