    Oh for shit sakes...what a load of crap....polar bears are at record numbers....they put a ban on shooting them in the sixties and went from 6000 to 54000 present day....they are not soft and cuddly .....they are notorious man eaters.....the Eskimos hate them....yeah they have to live with them......you don't hear them virtue signaling "poor polar bears".....Eskimos die every year....you don't hear from mainstream media about that do ya.....that polar bear don't look to hungry....and like any other bear they are garbage scavengers...and will sniff out dumps just like any other animal.........they will tear through you like a hungry pot smoking freshman through a big mac and large side of fries.....

    5000 to 33000 it’s obvious their over populated let the hunters come in and take a few thousand out. Hunters are the best way to manage wildlife. Most hunters put out bait all yr long feeding dozens of animals. That insures they have a better chance of harvesting an animal during hunting season.

    Polar bears live on seals but there was no ice for them to travel on to get to their hunting grounds. They are going to need to change their diet or they will become extinct

    Very disappointing and false information being used in this video. Shame on the producers for releasing such false content to manipulate people’s feelings. Wrong!

    Is it possible that we have an overpopulation of polar bears? There certainly must be a limit!

    Just another load of green shite.? We the human race have been making so called greenhouse gases for at most 350 year's the planet has had periods of intense heat and cold since it became a fucking planet.? With or without humans it will continue to do that until the sun swallows us up.? The scientific experts don't seem to know why the northern hemisphere is warming but there is more snow and ice in Antarctica.? That's why the tossers never mention it
