    They could have caught them, feed them a bit and then re-located some where where there was game for them. No, Polar bears do not need to be protected…..this just goes to show how wrong our government and wild life agency’s are so wrong….

Fantastic, here are the ground rules: No personal attacks, profanity, discriminatory language or threats. Keep it clean, civil and on topic. The Wildlife News does not fact check every comment but, when noticed, submissions containing clear misinformation, demonstrably false statements of fact or links to sites trafficking in such will not be posted.
