There was a show on last night about some polar bears killing some hikers at Spitzbergen, Norway. Two women were hiking, one was killed, one got away. Two men were hiking, the man fired a .22 revolver in the air to frighten the bear, which did not work. The bear then killed him. Then they showed a bear stalking some researchers, who were, as the show said "appropriately armed" and shot the bear dead. The researchers were shown with what looked like an old Mauser; they also had a guard dog to warn them of bears.
The show tried to blame the bears' behavior on pollution or airplane noise. The bears weren't starving or injured or sick. Possibly they were just curious and hadn't been around people much.
Here's some pictures of the nice, furry, soft little lovable tykes.
