I suppose it would have been worse to make him swim back.
Polar bears are trying to expand their range. ;-0
Send a Peta Representative out to welcome the bear and pet it on the nose.
“A polar bear that swam more than 200 miles through near-freezing water to reach Iceland was shot by local police.”
It just wasn’t his day.
Interesting. 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, as if there is not more solid ground within swimming distance of the poor bear.
That is a shame. He just wanted to do the jobs that Icelanders did not want to do.
A good call for the cops. Who gets the bear’s pelt?
Global Warming Made the Police Do It!
Which leads me to think of something:
Miss Brown: Say hey where is your homework Jim?
Jim: Oh Global Warming Ate it.
I am having too much fun on this website. I should tune out right now.
More irrational histrionics from global warming idiots. I could just as easily, and with greater validity, claim that the ice sheet is growing and putting bears closer to Iceland, else they wouldn't be able to make the journey.
Hmmmm.
I thought Albore’s peeps told us that polar bears were drowning because they can’t swim.
Iceland has nothing for him to eat but humans. On the other hand, one lone bear will not feed Iceland either.
Reminds me of the otter they nursed back to health after an oil spill and released, only to be immediately eaten by an Orca whale.
I thought they automatically drowned after 50 miles.
Clearly demand has far outstripped supply for polar bear rugs....sounds like the arrival was 'very timely' and will bring a princely sum
If they’d have just held off shooting the bear he’d have probably died within 24 hours from heat prostration, isn’t that so, Al.
Yes, that's the most plausible explanation. The Globull Warming people say it's because the Arctic icecap is receding that this polar bear was found in Iceland. If the polar bears need ice to survive, they would recede with the icecap into the Arctic circle? I've heard that the Polar Bears are 5x more in population than they were in 1972.
