    Coexistence with animals needs to learned and integrated fast…

    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….

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."
