GreenTards outraged after polar bear attacking man shot!


Human ancestors have been defending themselves from predators for a million years. Still going on throughout the Arctic. Now the "animal rights" cult wants this to stop!

Part of the preparations included sending a four-person team of “polar bear guards,” experts assigned to expedition cruises by law, to “set up a land station and check the area again to make sure that there are no polar bears in sight,” the statement said. If polar bears are spotted, shore leave is not allowed.

While on shore, one member of the team was “unexpectedly attacked by a polar bear that had not been spotted and he was unable to react himself,” according to the statement.

The Joint Rescue Coordination for Northern Norway tweeted confirming an attack had taken place and the polar bear was shot and killed.

The guard suffered injuries to his head, Negar Etminan, a spokesperson for the cruise line told the Associated Press. According to the company’s statement, the man was airlifted by rescue helicopter to a nearby hospital where he is in stable condition and “remains responsive.”

“‘Let’s get too close to a polar bear in its natural environment and then kill it if it gets too close.’ Morons,” English comedian Ricky Gervais tweeted.

“This # polarbear home was invaded from tourists from the Cruise Ship MS Bremen,” biologist Daniel Schneider wrote on Twitter. “Here’s a thought. Why not look at the bears from afar and leave them alone.”

Others, however, argued that killing the bear was the right thing to do because it saved the man’s life. One Twitter user wrote that people who are taking the bear’s side “need to have their heads examined.”

It sounds as if they were leaving the bears alone, and not intentionally getting too close to them, but the team member was "unexpectedly attacked by a polar bear that had not been spotted."

Shooting the bear to stop it from killing the guy was the right thing to do. There are plenty of polar bears. They are not endangered. There are many more of them now than there were fifty or more years ago. They have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and have lived through several drastic climatic warming periods without problems.

Humans are a species native to the planet, too. Polar bears don't have an exclusive claim on any natural environment, any more than humans do.

This tragedy could have been avoided if they had only offered the polar bear a cold 20 oz bottle of Coca-Cola. Delicious, refreshing Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola.
