Polar Bear's Teeth Removed from English Teenager's Head After Attack

Sooner or later, a decision must be made about the future of mankind. If we choose to continue expanding, we must accept that animals and nature will bear the burden of that imposition. Species are dying at an alarming rate and mankind just keeps reproducing. At some point in the future, we (mankind) must decide what our role on this planet is. If we decide to expand other life forms into extinction, then at least we have made a choice and will have to live with it. Once can only hope that the planet is large enough for all species and that man can reign in his need to perpetuate himself/herself.

That said, my condolences to the children in this attack and to the families that suffer from the loss of one of its members. As much as I love nature, killing the bear was the right measure. The animal would have killed all four boys, and finding humans an easy prey, would have likely sought out more. I hope the animal was dispatched quickly and painlessly and that we can learn to mitigate our encounters with nature so that a more beneficial outcome is the result. There is room for all of us on this planet, is mankind makes the decision to allow it, and perpetuate it.

6 Billion Humans.... A few hundred Polar Bears. Wonder why is the ratio so uneven

A billion humans....a few hundred polar bears.

Why were they there.it's the bears territory, now this magnificent animal is dead, l am so so sorry for the family of the boy who died, and the boys who were so chewed up. THEY ARE BOYS!!!!!!! ON A SCHOOL OUTING, FROM WHAT l UNDERSTAND. with 1 camp leader. my God people stay out of wild Animal Turf"it is there home, same thing in Alaska, idiot Palin wanted to pay hunters, to shoot wolves (my fav creature) from planes, l say start with her...................

"Another beautiful animal slaughtered because people want to invade it's territory."................ I guess the sum of your knowledge is the Nat Geo channel. They kill helpless seals for a living. So, do you weep at night over the seals - they, too, are beautiful creatures. Do you weep over the beautiful silver fish the seals and bears eat? Why is beautiful at all important. Go watch "Grizzly Man" and then repost. I'd like to see if your opinion changes.

I fee sorry for the dead and injured , so the lessen is don't sleep near wild animals I mean really !

Mr Smith phrased it best in "MATRYX" we are spreading like a virus and invading spaces that should
be left to their natural inhabitants. Still sucks for the boys family though.

Ah, yes...polar bears are innocent enough. Man is behind their recent attacks because
he has affected the upper atmosphere and hence we are experiencing global warming.
Interesting; however, some paleoclimatological data strongly indicates such phenomena
as global warming and global cooling have been normat patterns for eons. Maybe
it is....Bush's fault? ;-)

OK People listen up. If YOU go where the bears are, you have a good chance of being attacked. The bears don't want you near their homes. Stupid is as stupid does.

I was born and raised in Montana. Two Bear Species dominate as top Quadroped Predators, Ursus Americanun, Ursus Arctos Horriblis. Black Bear, often Brown and the Grizzly....

People, as a rule are not on Ursus Menu. Unusual circumstances of the Ursus attacking humans, include Sows defending their young, injury, or hunger. Any Ursus who would pull people out of tents is in a state of stress, for whatever reason or reasons.

Ursus Maritimus, Polar Bear is the exception. Their behavior in taking prey, including humans is well documented.

Regarding this Incident....When you enter the domain of Ursus Maritimus, you ARE a menu item...You pay your money and take your chances..
