    The Icelandic government, what with it being in their purview. And they decided the best course of action was to kill the bear.

    You saying “maybe they shouldn’t have killed it” is not a solution to the issue.

    Don’t forget to downvote this post. It’s vital that you downvote all of my posts for some reason.

      For the easy solution, all you have to do is ask the people with the gun. Congratulations the easy solution won.

        Yet again, you have not provided a viable alternative.

        All you’ve said is that maybe they shouldn’t shoot the polar bear. That’s it.

        You don’t have an alternative. You don’t like what the people who are in any position to do anything about it came up with.

        You have nothing but repeating that they shouldn’t have shot the bear and your silly attempt to give me negative internet points.

          I asked you who was qualified to come up with a plan and you did not say me, so I didn’t come up with one. Are you changing your answer now?

          I am an advocate for a solution other than killing.

          your silly attempt to give me negative internet points.

          I downvote trolls. It probably does nothing, but I try.

            Why are you telling such a silly lie?

            Weird how you’re calling me the troll when you told such an obviously refuted lie.

            I am an advocate for a solution other than killing.

            Okay, let’s have them reverse time and unshoot the bear. How would they do that? It’s not my job to come up with such things!

            And if I’m a troll, why are you indulging me? Do you enjoy being trolled? Shouldn’t you stop engaging?

              Your reading comprehension failed you there. “You did not say me” as in you did not say that I was qualified.

              Okay, let’s have them reverse time and unshoot the bear.

              Do you really think that I am advocating for changing past actions? Are you so ignorant for what advocation is for.

              And if I’m a troll, why are you indulging me? Do you enjoy being trolled? Shouldn’t you stop engaging?

              Meh. Better me than anybody else.

                I already said what I think and it’s ironic that you told me that I failed reading comprehension in the same post. Here’s a refresher:

                I came up with an alternative: unshoot the bear.

                  Do you really think that it is as impossible to reintegrate a lost bear into a population as time travel is? It’s just an absurd comparison.

                    I think, again, that if you introduce a deadly pathogen to a bear population from a foreign bear, you kill a lot more bears in much more painful ways than shooting them. The article discusses the pathogen issue.

                    But if you like, I accept your concept for “don’t shoot one bear when you can potentially kill many bears much more painfully” even if I don’t agree with it.

                    Also, if I’m a troll, you should be flagging me for the moderators. I doubt you will because a brief glance at my comment history would show that I was not a troll.
