Rare polar bear shot dead by police in Iceland after being thought a threat
Environment agency advised that the animal posed a danger to elderly woman in remote summer house in Westfjords
You're viewing part of a thread.
Do you really think that it is as impossible to reintegrate a lost bear into a population as time travel is? It's just an absurd comparison.
I think, again, that if you introduce a deadly pathogen to a bear population from a foreign bear, you kill a lot more bears in much more painful ways than shooting them. The article discusses the pathogen issue.
But if you like, I accept your concept for "don't shoot one bear when you can potentially kill many bears much more painfully" even if I don't agree with it.
Also, if I'm a troll, you should be flagging me for the moderators. I doubt you will because a brief glance at my comment history would show that I was not a troll.
Releasing captured diseased animals has been done before. You are welcome to ask those that have done that what considerations were made for preventing the spread of disease, but as I have said repeatedly, I am not an expert in the relevant field, so I won't speculate.

They removed my sarcastic comment calling it a troll. I have no expectation that they would recognize sea-lioning.

Evidence please.

In other words: "I don't care if you say you aren't a troll, I don't care if the mods say you aren't a troll, I don't care if your post history shows you clearly aren't a troll. You disagree with me, therefore, you are a troll."
Wildlife veterinarians job is to treat captured animals and release them back into the wild. If you want any specifics you would have one of them
In Churchill, Canada they have a polar bear jail, where they place captured polar bears that wander into town. I would guess that some veterinary care is provided since they stay there for up to 30 days, but you'd have to ask them for any specifics if you want it.

This was your claim:
Releasing captured diseased animals has been done before.
Evidence please that animals with diseases have been released in the wild.
Also, why would Iceland build a polar bear jail when there hasn't been another polar bear since 2016?
I thought you would prefer something more polar bear oriented, but OK. And to be clear since I think your reading comprehension might be failing you again, they treat the diseases before releasing the animals.
Here is an organization that does that.
https://www.wildlife-rescue.org/And a youtube channel that does it as well.
https://www.youtube.com/@WacoWildlifeRescueNow, I haven't vetted them to see if they are perfect at their jobs, but it is certainly an example of what I suggested.

So they don't have to shoot the bears obviously.
- You said nothing about treating diseases.
- Who is going to pay for that? The government? Why would voters agree to spend money on something needed about once a decade?
I did.

My initial comment did not explicitly say they would be treated because I thought that would be obvious. I guess I gave you too much credit. But you still should have figured it out when I mention veterinarians.

Again that's not something I am qualified to to work out. You would have to ask someone else for that.
Cool. Similarly, I'm not qualified to work out the unshoot the bear solution. Someone else can work that out. Seems like a better solution than a bear jail.
