RE: Starving Polar Bear Photographer Couldn't Help And Explains Why

in #wildlife7 years ago

I don't think the reporter is carrying enough food to keep him alive. plus, you have to understand that when an animal is in a starvation state there is a special diet to follow... dropping a leg of deer or half a seal next to him won't save him it might not even be able to chew it. This was is faith there was nothing the crew could do, it's tragic that's what it is... but it's also real and unfortunately he wasn't the first and won't be the last.

Good points. One could argue that feeding the bear also would simply postpone the inevitable and that it may bring the bear even closer to human habitation (if there were any nearby) if it became accustomed to scraps. But still...
