Police have shot and killed a polar bear that came ashore in northwestern Iceland, the first sighting of a polar bear there since 2016. It might have hitched a ride from Greenland on a floating iceberg.

Yes, and those people all have guns to shoot polar bears.

That says you’re supposed to scare them off first. Shooting them is a last resort. Not the first resort. In Iceland they made it the first resort by law. That’s the issue.
Got it. As long as the children have a way of scaring off the hungry polar bear when it gets to the school playground, no worries.
Presumably that’s the responsibility of adults.
I see, so post multiple guards around any place children might be just in case the rare polar bear makes landfall on Iceland so it can get scared away instead of mauling children.
Very reasonable.
How do the Scandinavians do recess? Surely they do and they don’t have a magic no polar bear fence. These are solved problems.
Yes. They solve it by shooting the polar bears.
Obviously there’s more to it than that. The literal government website you linked requires non lethal means to be carried.
Yes. When they’re not near a settled area. This should be fucking obvious.
Still waiting for you to provide evidence that there were no other houses around. Or are you going to repeat “summer home” again as if it’s the Unabomber’s shack in the woods when the weather is warm?
