Polar bear swims to Iceland
It's not often that polar bears manage to get to Iceland. They sometimes hitch rides aboard floating icebergs from Greenland but it's now June and there is no ice in the sea. So the huge adult polar bear which was spotted in the north of the country must have swam here from Greenland, or from an iceberg near Greenland - a journey which takes several weeks.....
Anyway, he's been shot. The authorities had run out of tranquiliser and the environment minister couldn't risk it running around eating Italian tourists, so she ordered its execution. What a nice lady.

That is shocking!
The World Conservation Union made Polar bears a vulnerable species in 2006 as their numbers have been reduced by 30% over the past 4o odd years mainly due to threats to their habitat- and what you are telling me is over there when they aren't whaling, they shoot the Polar Bears.
I say shoot the tourists.
