Polar bear

[EAST KENT]

Was it really a good idea to camp in polar bear country in the summer when the ice is melted and they are hungry?

I've read that they had a standard alarm system (involving trip wires or something) but in this case it failed.

Obviously not No surprise their.

My thoughts exactly!

At the end of the day someone was killed and whether they should have been there or not it is still a tragedy what happened

Tragedy needn't of happened and the bear would still be alive if the group had camped further away.

From what I hear they had followed all the recomended safety proceedures, unfortunately they failed - tragic accident.

If you look at the stat you are most at risk driving. A lad got killed in this region on a school trip Adue to a branch falling on him in a country park. We have to get it into perspective. These kids were on a scientific expedition. I am sure a lot of the money they pay to do these things goes towards valuable research, and how are we going to train conservationists and scientists of the future if they dont do these things?

Nothing on Earth would persuade me to camp in polar bear regions,alarmed or not.Having seen these wonderful animals close up in the wild I soon realised to them we are potential lunch,they fear nothing and combined with their enormous curiosity it makes them truly lethal.And truly fantastic too,easily my favourite animal.
