Pretty sure we all know who the real threat is.
TL;DR There’s normally no polar bears in Iceland but they float over from Greenland sometimes and Iceland has thought about not shooting them but decided the best option is to keep shooting them.
We’re not gonna make it.
For fuck’s sake can animals catch a fucking break? 
It`s systemic in iceland. They killed the last ice bears that showed up there in 2016 and 2010. They could easily bring them back to Greenland or Spitsbergen, but they find shooting at them awesome, nice trophies and no costs.
Maybe if people didn’t build their home in the polar bears backyard then they wouldn’t worry about them being too close to their house.
