I wonder if there exists people who aggressively believe mushrooms are plants, similar to people who defend Pluto as a planet.
  • The International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined in August 2006 that, in the Solar System, a planet is a celestial body that:

    1. is in orbit around the Sun,
    2. has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape), and
    3. has "cleared the neighbourhood" around its orbit.

  • I did.

    Wildlife veterinarians job is to treat captured animals and release them back into the wild. If you want any specifics you would have one of them.

    My initial comment did not explicitly say they would be treated because I thought that would be obvious. I guess I gave you too much credit. But you still should have figured it out when I mention veterinarians.

    Who is going to pay for that? The government? Why would voters agree to spend money on something needed about once a decade?

    Again that's not something I am qualified to to work out. You would have to ask someone else for that.

  • I thought you would prefer something more polar bear oriented, but OK. And to be clear since I think your reading comprehension might be failing you again, they treat the diseases before releasing the animals.

    Here is an organization that does that.
    https://www.wildlife-rescue.org/

    And a youtube channel that does it as well.

    Now, I haven't vetted them to see if they are perfect at their jobs, but it is certainly an example of what I suggested.

    Also, why would Iceland build a polar bear jail when there hasn’t been another polar bear since 2016?

    So they don't have to shoot the bears obviously.

    In Churchill, Canada they have a polar bear jail, where they place captured polar bears that wander into town. I would guess that some veterinary care is provided since they stay there for up to 30 days, but you'd have to ask them for any specifics if you want it.

  • Releasing captured diseased animals has been done before. You are welcome to ask those that have done that what considerations were made for preventing the spread of disease, but as I have said repeatedly, I am not an expert in the relevant field, so I won't speculate.

    Also, if I’m a troll, you should be flagging me for the moderators.

    They removed my sarcastic comment calling it a troll. I have no expectation that they would recognize sea-lioning.

  • Your reading comprehension failed you there. "You did not say me" as in you did not say that I was qualified.

    Okay, let’s have them reverse time and unshoot the bear.

    Do you really think that I am advocating for changing past actions? Are you so ignorant for what advocation is for.

    And if I’m a troll, why are you indulging me? Do you enjoy being trolled? Shouldn’t you stop engaging?

    Meh. Better me than anybody else.

  • Rare polar bear shot dead by police in Iceland after being thought a threat
  • I asked you who was qualified to come up with a plan and you did not say me, so I didn't come up with one. Are you changing your answer now?

    I am an advocate for a solution other than killing.

    your silly attempt to give me negative internet points.

    I downvote trolls. It probably does nothing, but I try.

  • Rare polar bear shot dead by police in Iceland after being thought a threat
  • 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.”

  • Rare polar bear shot dead by police in Iceland after being thought a threat
  • That would require an effort by conservation groups, the various governments, and polar bear experts. If you really wanted to know you could check the plans they made in previous attempts.
