RE: Starving Polar Bear Photographer Couldn't Help And Explains Why
Oh, poor thing. We all expect the reporter to have given some food to the bear. But we seem to forget or are just profane to why the polar bear is scavenging for food on land, it is no secret that the arctic which is the home of these creatures is suffering environmental degradation caused by human induced activities.
While a healthy environment and a striving economy can exist in perfect harmony, we need to as a matter of emphasis, drastically reduce activities causing harm to the climate by using renewable energy. Use solar panels instead of generators as third world developing countries are advised to do, reuse, reduce, recycle should be our watch word and thus give us a healthy environment.
You and I don't want these bears joining us at home, I can only imagine what it will be like.
The polar bear needs at least 2kg fats per day to enable it function, if the seas that should produces the walruses and other aquatic creatures that bears feed on are filled with plastic and dumping from our sewers then, there won't be enough food for these bears. I once saw a report on CNN on some group of persons doing a clean up of the ocean in an attempt to rid it of plastic, this I think is a step in the right direction.
Its a collective effort to protect the environment.
Well said, @dee13. I can't believe so many people have missed the point of this video. The reporters can't save this polar bear, and this isn't the only polar bear suffering like this. This sad animal is in horrifying conditions and it doesn't just need a few meals, it needs its ecosystem back! Polar bears need ice and snow. It's no secret that these animals' homes have been degraded at a rapid rate because of climate change. We can't save this individual animal, but these images are supposed to make us as a society realize that we need to make sweeping changes to decrease climate change.
