He should have been loading them into a Nissan Leaf, so the bear would give him a hug, instead.

"It was not clear who shot the bear."
Maybe it committed suicide.

Open Carry between Norway and the North Pole is good.
Concealed or Open Carry in the Good old USA, even better.
We have not only bears but Miscreants foreign and domestic to be concerned with.

Clearly the Polar bear had a bad case of white privilege.

Was the bear hiding under the gangplank, waiting for his prey?
