      You seem to want to know the answer to the question and I have already given you all I can. so I will just repeat:

      I certainly would not be involved so I don’t know why you think I should be the one that comes up with any plan. I don’t have to be a subject matter expert to advocate for a cause. I don’t have to be an OB-GYN to advocate for abortion rights. I don’t have to be an environmental scientist to advocate for action on climate change. And I don’t have to be an expert on polar bears to be able to say “Maybe we shouldn’t kill polar bears.”

        And I don’t have to be an expert on polar bears to be able to say “Maybe we shouldn’t kill polar bears.”

        Except you have not given a viable alternative to killing the polar bear.

          I have given an alternative. It is just not perfectly detailed enough for some random person on the internet that has no say in anything related to the subject.

            You have not given a viable alternative. Your alternative is “negotiate with Greenland.” That is not viable and I explained why. It risks their entire polar bear population. It would have the potential to kill far more than just one polar bear and much more slowly and painfully.

            But I guess that’s your preferred solution to shooting a single bear in Iceland, the first since 2016.

                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.
