Questions about death of polar bear in viral video

First topic message reminder :

Are these photos REALLY proof that polar bears are being killed by climate change? Doubts raised over claims after it emerges that no post mortem was carried out

The video is unquestionably harrowing to watch — an emaciated polar bear stumbling through a terrain devoid of snow and ice, clumps of fur clinging to its sagging flesh and dragging one hind leg as it searches with increasing desperation for food.

There is no warning and no apology for presenting such images — but that is deliberate.

‘We know that it . . . will be deeply upsetting for many of you, but we cannot turn away from the urgent environmental crisis our planet is facing,’ says the accompanying introductory text on the website of environmental campaigners SeaLegacy.

Filmed on Somerset Island, near Baffin Island, and part of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, the footage purports to show a bear deprived of its hunting ground on the sea ice and forced to scavenge in a rubbish bin used by local fishermen. To the strains of a mournful soundtrack, the pathetic bear is seen chewing on a burnt piece of foam from a discarded snowmobile seat before slumping to the ground exhausted as the video fades to black.

A more damning indictment of man-made climate change would be hard to imagine. Indeed, since it was published on the website of renowned magazine National Geographic, the clip has gone viral.  

‘Gut-wrenching’, ‘horrendous’ and ‘this should shame us all’ are typical of the comments on social media sites. The story has also been covered widely by the Press. ‘Video of Starving Polar Bear “Rips Your Heart Out of Your Chest” ’ was the New York Times headline, while The Guardian described how this ‘“Soul-crushing” video . . . exposes climate crisis’.

The outcry is understandable — but there is just one problem with these stories. Although the bear was presumed to have died in the days following the sighting, no post mortem was carried out on it. As a result, no one can be sure what killed it, or link its death to those of other polar bears SeaLegacy and other environmental campaigners have made emotive claims about in the past.

In 2015, for example, German photographer Kerstin Langenberger posted a photo of a similarly gaunt polar bear on her Facebook page.

Explaining that it was taken in Svalbard, an archipelago of islands between mainland Norway and the North Pole (where, incidentally, the BBC’s enchanting Christmas documentary, Snow Bears, was filmed), she said it showed just one of several underweight females she’d spotted there. She was in no doubt about the cause of its wretched condition.

Sorry, but that is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard.
You either find it funny, based on the view of not having a sense of humour
You can fuck off if you think you warrant an apology

So tell me again, how is it having no sense of humour here, unless you find it funny?

Yes, I do believe you and Tommy think its okay to abuse children by thinking this is funny.

Do stop to read the posts you wanker before making stupid comments. I DON'T BELIEVE IN ABUSING CHILDREN, IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH?


Now have the last word or you'll never let it go !

I will have the last word you supporter of child abuse and you supported child abuse, by thinking Tommy's video was funny.

So either you actually be a man an apologise for being a c unt, or remain a fuckwit

Your choice

Fuck off you pathetic waste of space

I see you had no humility and think its funny to slap a child in the face and then try and back out of your fuck up. Claiming its about having no sense of humour. A fucking contradiction.

Now fuck off

As I said... seems to be a distinct 'sense of humour' failure going on here at the moment...

Maybe the fly was too quick and got away...?

The bile that constantly comes out of your mouth tommy

Tommy Monk wrote:No... try again...

I dont need to try again, because, that is what it is.

Its not my fault, you continually post bile on this forum

Maybe you should learn to stop being a vile wanker

Just a thought mind

Your thoughts are of no interest to me... keep them to yourself...!


Ta muchly...!

Tommy Monk wrote:Your thoughts are of no interest to me... keep them to yourself...!


Ta muchly...!

Is that why you have responded to every single post I have made to you.

Seems, I have hit a raw nerve, which I guess is on the fact you really do not have anyone, to care for you Twatti

Bless

You care about me...


Don't you...?

Tommy Monk wrote:You care about me...


Don't you...?

ha ha ha ha 

Not one bit, like I said, I will always laugh at you.

I dont even pity you, but wish you the worst misfortune

Due to the vile person you are

Best you get used to that

So... you do care...!


But in a nasty way that can only come from an 'evil bastard' with terrible karma...!

I told you I am am evil bastard and look forward to the day of your comeuppance.

So I certainly do not care for you, I care only what harm befalls you.

I also cannot wait to laugh at your expense over this

Maybe you can cry yourself to sleep on your pillow Twatti

On that note, I am off to bed, as much fun as it is to ridicule such a weasel as you. I really do have better things to do.

Though I will look forward to your comeuppance.

Night

Tommy Monk has a definite anti-social pattern developing on here these days, doesn't he  !!!

Laughs at child abuse;

Sides with rapists --  as long as they're white, of course;

Supports fossil fuel/industrial polluters, (vis. Tommy's regular climate change denials..).

Twat!
