POLAR BARE-FACED FIB?

Canadian photographer's video of emaciated polar bear on Baffin Island goes viral: The video, shot by National Geographic photojournalist Paul Nicklen, racked up over a million views and depicted a skeletal bear foaming at the mouth and digging through a metal barrel for food on Baffin Island.

Yet, while people with cameras travel North all the time, there are no other stories that include shocking reports of emaciated, starving polar bears.

In fact, around the same time as this video came out, there was an article published in the Star about a glorious visit to Baffin Island:

Baffin Island trip like icing on Canada’s birthday cake
  • Fifth-largest island in the world hosts Sirmilik and Auyuittuq national parks, including a mountain climbers’ paradise and a Bond film location.

If "viral" means that multiple copies of the film were posted to YouTube, then that's true, but there was also one entitled: Absolutely bizarre UN media polar bear climate change hoax!!

And the strange thing is that the bear video was actually filmed in the summer, when there would naturally be no snow on Baffin Island, but the "viral" distribution was held back until December. I'm just saying ...

A good thing to do is to check out the Canadian Wildlife Federation's website. Well, what do you know; they're having a fund raiser!

I'm not going to say the CWF are the ones exploiting the polar bear, but someone seems to be - because these beautiful animals, when young and healthy, can look cuddly and can draw far more affection - and sympathy - than just about any other creature the CWF monitors.

So, if an elderly, arthritic and toothless polar bear (did you notice it wasn't really chewing whatever it found in the trash bin?) motivated you to want to give generously to the CWF, keep in mind that most of the money may well be allocated elsewhere.

One simply has to stop thinking of polar bears as little more than cute, cuddly and entertaining. They come in all sizes, temperaments, and age groups. When they're babies we go "Ahhhhhhh"; when they're young they can snap your arm off; and when they're old, they're just like the rest of us raisins.

I might also interject that perfectly healthy bears scrounge in trash bins, not because there's no other food available, but because there's a lot of good stuff in there and it's easier than having to forage elsewhere or run down some prey.

And don't forget all the sitcoms you've seen of camping trips invaded by bears who have access to all sorts of small prey but also love peanut butter and jelly - not to mention "hunny", as Pooh would say.

The National Review quotes a wildlife biologist who puts things into perspective:
  • “I think you are always going to have animals in any population [that are] in poor conditions,” Rode said. "This can be because they have an injury (as may be the case with the polar bear in the photo) or because the animal is old and has lost some of its canines" ... Read more ...

The CWF offers a pdf report: [bolding is added by me]

Page 2 talks about the location where the tragically pitiful bear is said to have been video-recorded:
  • "In areas such as eastern Baffin Island and Hudson Bay, where most or all of the pack ice melts by mid-to late summer, the whole bear population is forced to come ashore for two to four months in summer and early fall to wait for the ice to freeze again. Polar bears are wonderfully adapted to their arctic surroundings."

Page 4: When the bears come ashore in areas where the pack ice melts during the summer, they can no longer hunt seals. They live mainly on their fat stores and conserve energy by remaining inactive over 80 percent of the time. They will scavenge on carcasses if they find them, and adolescents and females accompanied by dependent young, in particular, will occasionally eat grasses and berries. Bears have even been seen diving for seaweed and trying to catch seabirds sitting on the water by swimming underwater and coming up beneath them. Very few cases of bears killing and eating caribou and muskoxen are known.

Also: Read Page 5 where there's the bit on how polar bears are, in fact, so plentiful that the Inuit are allowed quotas of around 1000 bears for meat and to profit from the sale of their skins - earning thousands of dollars. Bear meat is also sold as dog food.

Another source of information about the polar bear can be found in the "Species at Risk" pages of the Government of Canada website. One sign that there is no immediate concern is that they don't expect to have up-to-date information on Polar Bears until 2018. They do say that "climate change" may affect the polar bear population but they add that it might also benefit some populations:
  • "Changes in sea ice are not expected to affect Polar Bears in all portions of their range at the same time, or in the same ways. Polar Bears in some portions of their range may see transient but significant benefit from a milder climate. For example, there is expected to be increased access to prey species due to decreased multi-year ice. Also, the northern sections of the Canadian arctic and north-western Greenland may provide long term habitat."

They also say that the hunting quotas have not changed, and are being monitored for illegal poaching.

BUT, if polar bears truly are already starving on Baffin Island why don't the military do the same thing it's doing to deliver Christmas presents to the North - but make it slabs of fish and beef for the bears, and maybe some "hunny" too, because after all, it's Christmas time, eh?

Hey Yaya:

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2017/12/11/starving-polar-bears-are-the-fake-news-face-of-climate-change/

"We finally have this year’s example of the new fad of claiming every polar bear that died of starvation (or on its way to starving to death) — and caught on film — is a victim of climate change: a young bear on Somerset Island near Baffin Island, Nunavut filmed in August during its last antagonizing hours by members of an activist conservation organization called SeaLegacy.

This is no different from Ian Stirling’s “bear that died of climate change”back in 2013, or several others since then: here, here, and here (one of these incidents also involved the same photographer as this incident, Paul Nicklen). I’ve called this practice of filming dead or dying bears and splashing the photos across the pages of newspapers and the internet “tragedy porn” — a kind of voyeurism that leaves people open to emotional manipulation. The internet laps it up.

Here Cristina Mittermeier, co-founder of SeaLegacy, tells CBC Radio why they filmed the incident and released the video (bold emphasis added). She admits to using this poor bear as a serendipitous photo op to illustrate the future fate she imagines for all bears....."

Propaganda, fake news, perception management, mind control and manipulation for financial gain

Never mind I had read the population of Polar Bears near Churchill Manitoba had been exploding

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/polar-bears-humans-churchill-manitoba-government-canada-1.3468138

"Manitoba government documents suggest polar bear encounters with people have reached record levels on the shores of Hudson Bay with more of the mammals ending up in a specialized jail in Churchill.

Polar bear activity reports from the past three years show the number of documented cases in Churchill has jumped from 229 in 2013 to 351 last year."

Like the fake news your talking- this CBC article pushes the idea this is due to climate change?
Is it? Couldn't it be increased polar bear population?
Easy access to food?
And many other reasons?
but hell keep on pushing the agenda
