More polar bears killed by tourists than by global warming.

I don’t have to be able to outrun the polar bear...

[Larry Lucido]

At least it didn’t starve to death.

[Disambiguator]

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

The Polar Bear was there first. Specism at its worst. (sarc)

[JennysCool]

Social Justice Warriors even now planning a nationwide vigil.

"It was not clear who shot the bear."

Maybe it committed suicide.

[SMGFan]

Trump’s fault!

[TADSLOS]

Well, at least he didn’t die from ingesting plastic straws.

[Kickass Conservative]

Did the Bear draw first?

[C210N]

This is why there is a right to arm bears

[mylife]

Well if yer gonna try to eat my liver.. BANG!

[Kartographer]

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

[rexthecat]

Well, they are carnivores..

[blueplum]

I have just one question, that’s all and this is it: Do they allow straws on that tourist boat?

[JohnnyP]

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

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Sob!! Now there are only four left: three of them are stranded on ice floes and the fourth is starving to death. It is so heart-wrenching. Sob!!

Up in Svalbard/Spitsbergen, they have more polar bears than people.

When you get off the plane in Longyearbyen, they have rifle rental at the airport. Never leave town unarmed - even on the slopes overlooking the town. Any bear that comes anywhere near town is shot just as soon as possible.

People who are outside of town will put out trip flares at night, and bring dogs to stand guard.

Polar bears are much more dangerous than Grizzles. Grizzley bears will occasionally hunt humans as food - Polar bears will do so virtually every time the see or catch scent of a human. No other predator is as reliably aggressive toward humans as Polar bears, and they always want to take you as food.

The souvenir shop in Longyearbyen had shelves full of polar bearskin rugs in every corner when I visited, but you were not allowed to bring them into the US. I believe they were selling for about $2,000, but the quality of the taxidermy was high.

Wily polar bears on Svalbard will sometimes disguise themselves as people in fake polar bear costumes, to lure tourists into approaching them.

I hope the bear will be stuffed and mounted in an appropriate lounge in the cruise ship. Never let a good hide go to waste.

It was not clear who shot the bear.

The polar bear was white so according to the media it couldn't have been a cop, they only shoot black bears.
