Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted July 29, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 29, 2018 A photograph shows a polar bear lying lifeless on a beach; mouth slightly agape, a ring of blood on its neck. Norwegian authorities confirmed the bear was shot and killed on Saturday. It happened on the northernmost island of Svalbard archipelago, a region between mainland Norway and the North Pole known for polar bears and ice caps. In recent years, the area has become a popular destination for arctic tourism, especially during the summer months. On Saturday, the MS Bremen cruise ship landed on the island and polar bear guards went ashore to survey the land. Then a polar bear unexpectedly attacked one of the guards, a spokesperson for the ship operator Hapag-Lloyd Cruises told The Associated Press, and "in an act of self defense" another guard shot the polar bear A helicopter brought the injured guard to the nearby town of Longyearbyen on Spitsbergen island. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises spokesperson Negar Etminan said he suffered head injuries but they were non-life threatening. https://www.npr.org/2018/07/29/633621581/polar-bear-shot-and-killed-in-an-act-of-self-defense-cruise-ship-company-says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted July 29, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) Agreed, you don't need to get that close. With today's technology in our phones and cameras, there is zero need to get that close to an animal for a picture that it would feel threatened. I could see a group hiking, not knowing it's there, coming around a corner out cropping of rocks and needing to do what needs to be done..But if you fucking approach a fucking bear in the wild of your own choosing, and it wants your ass for dinner that's on their stupid asses Edited July 29, 2018 by Rigid1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a good friend that hunts big game in Africa, you pay huge money for specific permits, you are told exactly what animal you are allowed to take, the money goes to conservation, the meat goes to the villages.. Or the poachers take anything they can shoot, young breeding aged animals,.. cut off whatever is worth money and the rest is left rot..... I honestly cannot grasp how someone can be so obsessed with Trump, that a cruise ship incident involving the shooting of a polar bear can be twisted into Tump controlling Zimbabwe's wild game parks.. I mean like how fucking fucked in the head do you have to be?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 This reminds me of when we did swim call in the Navy, out in the Persian Gulf. There was always two on shark watch with a scoped rifle. The cruise ship employee getting ripped apart while the tourists watched , would have made a better story. People die,wild life die everyday.

So we are discussing a polar bear Cruise ship incident, MC pipes up with something anti Trump and it has to do with absolutely nothing we are talking about, you come in and quote his anti Trump propaganda like it has something to do with what we are talking about.. And then accuse Republicans of Jack'n off over it?? Ever hear the saying "the pots calling the kettle black" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I can only imagine that the same people who are outraged by this would be the exact same ones that would buy the tickets for a cruise ship that observes the polar bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
