Its no wonder man still treats animals bad and kills them just for being around,even though this happened 80 years ago its still wrong,to kill a mother for her cubs is inhuman and heartless,since mans creation animals have suffered and they continue to suffer due to inhumans,LET ANIMALS LIVE IN PEACE.

yes it happened that many years ago but have we all learnt the lesson?

No

Well if you do a search in Google you will be able to read that a Polar Bear recently swam from Greenland to Ice land and the distance is either 200 miles or what I have cross referenced to be 300 miles. Well this Polar Bear - a Male swam that distance. They are reknown for long distance swimming and can do it well but I read 100 miles per day or so. Well this brave Bear swam all this way to Iceland and upon landing on Earth the police killed it!!

Now............... Icelanders are so embarrassed apparently by this instant Death and the Police ? Well they went....DUH WE SHOULDNT HAVE DONE THAT.....I GUESS.....AW TOO LATE NOW!!

That Polar Bear in my books is a HERO and a BRAVE BEAR who had the notion and idea that Greenland wasnt the place to live b/c of their habitat etc. Now this beautiful Bear is dead....................... yeah HINDSIGHT IS A WONDEROUS THING.

I HOPE THEY IN ICELAND LEARNT THEIR LESSON...

SO MOTE IT BE....
