There isn’t a place on earth. Polar Bears have to eat, if you are unfortunate enough to be in its sights, then you could end up being it’s next meal, that’s nature.

Uh yeah. I am aware of how nature works and I certainly don’t begrudge the bear for doing what is natural especially in light of the unnatural climate man has created .

Perhaps I am mistaken but your comment that the humans entered where the polar bears were there first in reference to the sad deaths of an indigenous mother and child struck me as judgmental , patronizing and just unnecessary victim blaming .

Why throw stones from afar ? If you want to blame someone pick on Exxon or the moron who says that climate change is a Chinese hoax . W It’s not like the mother and child climbed into a cage at the zoo .

If it helps- source - I work with endangered species / and invasive species

Sorry if it sounded judgmental, it wasn’t supposed to be, but yes I do agree that because of the climate, with the areas shrinking, that is bringing the polar bears into closer contact with human.
