Denmark's Shame: Starving Polar Bears in Greenland (DISTURBING IMAGES)

[Seymour Flops]

First, I have to apologize to Flopper. He mentioned the thousands of starving polar bears in Greenland and I was very dismissive of the idea.

Then I researched it.

Yes, polar bears in Greenland and across the Arctic are facing increased starvation risks due to melting sea ice, a direct result of climate change, forcing them onto land for longer periods without their primary seal-hunting platform, causing rapid weight loss and pushing them to forage less nutritious food, threatening their survival. Studies show bears losing significant weight, with young bears being particularly vulnerable, highlighting a growing crisis for the iconic species.

Good GAWD, Y'all!

How can Denmark let this happen? Maybe they see no profit to made in saving these beautiful animals from starvation?

At least they could put them to sleep painlessly unstead of letting them waste away in sub-zero weather.

Time for the last vestige of European Colonialism to at long last be gone from the American Continents.

Not to ignore the bears, which are suffering because of climate change.
You have starving people in Gaza that was directly caused by the Israeli government blocking food aid.

I don't know if the Danes need to be air dropping seals.

 

[Seymour Flops]

I don't know if the Danes need to be air dropping seals.

I don't think they have the character to do so. But we could.

The U.S. has literally hundreds of thousands of plump and healthy seals off the coast of California that could easily be flown to Greenland. Not to be dropped, but to be helicoptered in and released.

I guess that doesn't match the narrative that Denmark owning Greenland is the most important thing in the world, just because Trump opposes it.

Right can't we introduce a seal population to Greenland?

They should just eat up all the Icelanders so we don't have to support them with welfare and food stamps, when we take over.

I would imagine Icelanders would taste like apple danishes to those bears.

Hilarious thread allowing people to display their ignorance! Love it!

 

[Seymour Flops]

Yes! That would certainly be worth a try. I wasn't even thinking that far ahead!

Sure, use the seals released inland to lure the polar bears to migrate toward the coasts. Greenland is an island, after all, and with lots of bays and inlets all around it.

Meanwhile nurture coastal populations of seals for a permanent food source. They cannot eat all the seals, so the population would grow, not shrink.

A win-win.

I don't think Denmark cares about the Greenlandic bears. Nor about the Greenlandic people, except as a point of pride to be the last European colonialists in North America.

Apple danishes made with brown sugar for the mixed Greenlanders?

To be clear, it is fake to blame it on "Climate Change," "Global Warming" or whatever they call it this week.

The starvation is not a hoax. It is incredible mismanagement of wildlife by Denmark.

I nominate this post for worst post of the day based on absolutely no knowledge of seals and polar bears.

I cannot help myself? Why is it any of Denmark's business to interfere with Mother nature?

Oh, please then!

Enlighten us!

What?

A big part of what makes humans different from the lower animals is our willingness to bend nature to our will. You know there is no "mother nature." That is an attempt to anthropomorphize natural forces.

We can mitigate "natural disasters." We do it all the time. I suppose we should never have rescue operations when "Mother Nature" decides that it is time for a hurricane, earthquake or tsunami?

What should be done?

The only info I can find all blame CC, which as you stated, is fake.

In Greenland specifically, there are only a few thousand polar bears. There are hundreds of thousands of sea lions - a type of seal - off the coast of California. Gather several thousand and take them to Greenland for resettlement on the coast and some for immediate feeding to the starving polar bears.

Sea Lions feed on ocean fish near the shore and their primary predators are sharks and whales. They would not expect the polar bears so they would be good prey for them.

Maybe there are reasons why that will not work. Fine, try something else. Point is that I don't think Denmark is trying. I think Europeans will not mitigate any disaster that they can blame on the the fact that the climate changes to support the hoax.

Seeing how Denmark treated the Inuit of Greenland, this treatment of polar bears comes as no suprise.

I actually attended a course on polar bears at a zoo. Your entire plan, if one would call it that, would be doomed to failure. Seals provided as food for bears would just swim away and escape. Polar bears do not hunt seals on land for that reason. On the ice, they have nowhere to go. What is missing is the sea ice. You do know that polar bears can swim, right?

You also realize that seals and sea lions are two entirely different creatures with different habitats?

Maybe you should visit a zoo.

What?

Many years ago, wolves were removed from the ecosystem in Yellowstone Park by man. With no more predators, the deer population exploded. The deer normally fed on small trees near the streams. As their population grew, the deer killed off the trees that were the food supply for the beavers, and no more beavers meant no more beaver dams which reduced the standing water supplies for numerous other species. It was a cascading environmental disaster. Man should have never stuck his big nose in nature's business. Restoring the wolves restored the balance.

You attended "a course" at "a zoo?" That's your argument from authority?

Polar bears do not hunt seals on land because they would "swim away?" I think the slideshow at the Rainforest Restaurant was either wrong or you misinterpretted it. How does a seal "swim away" on land?


AI is not always reliable, but I'll trust it more than whatever "course" at this unnamed "zoo" you speak of.

Last I heard, there is Artic sea ice around Greenland.

Polar bears hunt seals in Greenland. If they are starving, they need more seals. Doesn't take a genius to get that.

Yes, that wolf removal failed experiment sounds like exactly the kind of idiocy the left perpetuates. No doubt there was some politically correct reason to do the experiment that way, and some politically correct explanation for why it failed.

I'm proposing to do something to stop the starving bears, not just meekly accept these animals grusome demise. Animals don't starve to death naturally. They die of some natural cause that takes them before they get emaciated.

Emaciated animals, and emaciated humans for that matter are always caused by human mismanagement.

I swear you are incapable of reading the English language. Your AI overview even told you the answer as to why your idea is bullshit of the highest order. A lack of seals is not the problem. It is a lack of ice from which they hunt. The seals are still there. The polar bears cannot get to them. Substituting sea lions will accomplish nothing! The polar bears will not be able to get to them anyway!

Why don't we ship in huge ice making machines to give the bears something to hunt from?

Yes, I attended a class on polar bears, which were separated from the classroom by a glass window, a very thick glass window by the way. The bears were three feet away. It was part of that continuing education that most people do not realize teachers have to do to maintain their jobs and certifications.

I have two questions for you to answer without Google or AI:
1) What color is a polar bears hair?
2) What color is a polar bears skin?

AI Overview



Yes, some seal populations in Greenland, especially
Hooded Seals, are shrinking and facing increased threats, largely due to climate change impacting sea ice, though Harp Seals in the larger North Atlantic region have shown relative stability or growth, but face future risks, highlighting varied trends by species and region. The IUCN Red List recently elevated the status of Hooded Seals to Endangered and Bearded Seals to Near Threatened, primarily due to sea ice loss.

Fewer seals = less food for polar bears. Maybe the imported seals won't reproduce enough to establish viable populations, but they can still be eaten.

Animals can migrate successfully. They are not like coconuts. Horses were brought to America from Europe and they thrived, even in the wild. Nobody told them they couldn't not live and that "it's not nice to fool Mother Nature."

Why don't we ship in huge ice making machines to give the bears something to hunt from?

Because they need the seals, not the ice.

Oh my God! Your school district let you count that as CE? My district would laugh me out of the room if I told them I saw polar bears at the zoo - only three feet away! - so I should get six CE hours.

I have two questions for you to answer without Google or AI:
1) What color is a polar bears hair?
2) What color is a polar bears skin?

It doesn't matter, but I'll answer off the top of my head that I think I read somewhere that their hair is actually clear and their skin is black?

If I'm wrong, you can laugh and paw at your pits, I guess.
