Police have shot and killed a polar bear that came ashore in northwestern Iceland, the first sighting of a polar bear there since 2016. It might have hitched a ride from Greenland on a floating iceberg.

    Read the article. They don’t even go onto that. They have a shoot on sight policy regardless.

      Yes. Because they’re not going to wait until someone got turned into kibble for something to do

        Which isn’t the reason the Iceland government gives. Again. Go read the article. But also that’s the same excuse we almost made wolves extinct with. Animals as a rule avoid people when possible.
