interesting. thx.

Yep. I read that.

Free the bear he didn't do it

Thanks. I honestly got distressed by how abruptly the doc ends.

Thanks for the note, still when there are too many of them in this facility what will happen?! I've seen videos of polar bears pushed to extremes and they become cannibalistic. :(I don' t see any light in the tunnel for those magestic creatures, nor 4 the future of the Arctic and the Antarctica. The one in charge, the corporates don't give a... about climate change, so as the consumers :( We are all doomed, but I feel most sorry for the the next generations. A world full of NO real content, no Soul, no Nature is a dead world. :(

I loved the imagery of the polar bear and the stop 🛑 sign.

I believe that's the point ;)

It is a sarcastic title. The directors crew knew exactly what they mean. Every detail adds to the story. A great and devastating documentary.

Exactly!

We’re also wild animals just doing what we do. We’re just as wild as any other animal. Humans find that hard to believe because we’re such an advanced species, we almost seem out of place or like aliens to this planet. But we’re here doing what we were designed to do. It’s not different than animals building a colony in nature, we’re just way more advanced. The bear entered OUR territory.

I agree it's people who flock to take photos knowing that the bear eats people lol

Hopefully, you will impress on them that it's a rotten way to live, and the disgusting conditions these poor animals have to put up with. This is yet another view of the downside of wonderful, pristine, super-natural Canada.

I love that too!!

It's some few minutes of docu shot at a dump.

Couldn’t agree more. So glad I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Right? Nuisance bear? Look at all these morons up in the bears biz- shooting, screeching tires, helicopter "buzzing" the bear.more like Nuisance Human

Why? Humans aren't allowed to live up in the sub Arctic? The bears would not show nearly the same consideration if a human was caught by them.

@@jimchung5710 because it is a polar bear? It thinks humans are out to get them. A lot of humans cause polar bears and many other wild animals to be close to extinction

​@@jimchung5710They're city boys. Never stepped foot in Northern Canada nor do they know of the populations that have co-existed with Polar Bears for thousands of years. Ignorance.

The town is not "in their way" they are drawn to the dump by the smell, and they are opportunists. It's completely wide open spaces they could just go around but they are scavengers. Wake up.

Churchill, Manitoba is not a new community. Climate changes may have put pressures on the bears in that region to hunt where humans live. Unlike the foxes or raccoons, possums we are used to scavenging in more urban areas, they are so dangerous to the humans.

Churchill is a very isolated, small town. The bears clash sometimes, because they hang out there until Hudson Bay freezes over

@@dianayount2122 well climate change is also humans fault !

@@tinatini3940 Accelerated climate change is our fault, but the planet has been through many cycles of intense warmth and ice ages. Polar bears had to adapt each time to these natural climate eras.

I've stopped 1/2 way through because I was crying for the bear. Don't know if I can watch the rest. I know on Svalbard it is illegal to go looking for polar bears and illegal to kill one unless you are in danger and even then there is a huge fine.

Churchill is a tiny town surrounded by thousands of square kilometers of open wildlife space. These bears are coming into the town and getting to use to humans..the best thing to do is scare them away. Populations have been dealing with this for thousands of years. Before all of us came here. Put your emotions aside for a few minutes and consider not everything done is done with bad intentions.

This community actually does an amazing job coexisting with the bears.

I think the perspective of the shot makes it appear that they are closer than they really are.

you dont understand the habitat, churchill is a small town in comparison to the vast land around it, these bears are looking for easy food

@@NolzySZN you're splitting hairs. not much different than what i said. the bears are looking for food there because its 's easier- and why is it easier? would they be be looking there if the town didn't exist. would they be going there if they could find more of their natural diet in the wild?

@@cgm2086 actually no, the bears are waiting for the ice to freeze over, so they can travel north over the Hudson Bay to the Arctic for hunting

@@NolzySZN even if that's true for that specific area - that doesn't discount the fact that animals come into towns and yards because we have destroyed their habitats all over the world where bears exist. and whether they are waiting for the ice to freeze over or not- are they not still going into areas with humans. either way i am glad that these bears are being treated respectfully.

Polar bears do not hibernate. Only pregnant polar bears den. Unlike hibernation, a polar bear's heart rate and temperate do not decrease, this ensures the cubs will stay warm.

Well, you can volunteer to go to Churchill and get eaten. They are just hanging around till the ice freezes. Happens every year.

You are a loon, the animal is wild and it has no need to go to the dump in town where it would just as well eat a kid.

Amen.

"Nuisance Bear" is a term wildlife management agencies use for bears that have lost their fear of humans, often resulting in the bear being relocated. I don't think the director was calling the bear a nuisance but instead was showing you the experience of one of these so called "nuisance bears".

Good point but the term nuisance shouldn't be interpreted literally. A nuisance bear or animal is one that has figured out a way for procuring easy meals by associating humans and their surrounding with food. And it's not just scavenging or rummaging through landfills or garbage cans . When people actively feed potentially dangerous wildlife they're also creating a nuisance animal. Same thing happens here in Florida when misguided people feed alligators in our lakes, or scuba diving tours where the operators bait sharks for tourists. When dangerous animals associate people with food it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

@@alphacentauri8083 what does "bait sharks for tourists" mean?

@@lilgorgor Throw chum or dead fish in the water to attract sharks for the ultimate "shark dive" experience.

Indeed...

Check this out. Such a beautiful documentary. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the polar bears, but the footage of what they deal with is incredible too 😊

he was moved to a holding facility until the ice freezes over.

The bear gets a free ride, lands further away, moves on,....

Why is it a sad ending? The bear lives and is taught a lesson not to come back to town. People mistakenly attribute human emotions to animals, the animals do not see it that way.

@@jimchung5710 I don't know. I agree they don't see it like we do, but I think animals show emotional capabilities. Maybe they don't experience emotions in the way we've evolved to do, but I wouldn't disqualify them at all.

@@alesanchez87 🙏💖

Yes! Exactly!

They have the entire Arctic region to live. The bear is waiting for the ice on Hudson's Bay to freeze so he can travel on it back to his hunting grounds but while he is waiting, he is feeling bored and hungry so gets into trouble in Churchill. Churchill is a tiny town, not the entirety of his world at all. He chose to come to town while other bears ignore it and stay in the wilderness.

Churchill is TINY and bears just happen to wander in sometimes lol next to no one lives in the northern parts of Canada in comparison to the rest. Land is not the issue

Polaris are NOT an endangered species and due to protections their population growth is endangering northern populations, even the Inuit have plead with the government to change this as there have been numerous deadly attacks.

​@jimchung5710 they should make a bear jail with tall gates but put trees, rocks and water for them to play with. & they can let them free after the bay is frozen.

???

its a small town, there since the fur trade, bears are waiting for the ice to freeze so they can hunt in the artic

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Kind of a strange comment. How is this a dystopian nightmare? There are no victims in this film. In fact humans are the one who deescalated what would have once in the past been a violent interaction with the bear losing each time.

The bears are the victims of human encroachment, loss of habitat, loss of food and climate change caused by humans.

Do you own a cat?

this isnt a new town its coexisted for time....

No! It's tranquilized and relocated.

he keeps coming back

Well bears consider humans as prey and have eaten loads of humans starting to eat them alive so unless your volunteering to be on menu don't feed him

Finally someone of sound mind ...Thank you!

Yes, but the title provides the irony.

Не стоит. Потом сожрёт если не дать еды. Дикие звери не должны питаться подачками. Это унизительно и очень им вредно

There is plenty of empty land up there, go look at an atlas. The problem is that polar bears tend to eat only seals and for that they have to hunt on ice formed over water, and that is shrinking and lasting shorter amounts of time because of climate change. Human encroachment is not an issue as there are very few people living up there. Unless all the ice disappears, the polar bears will just be confined to a smaller area further north of where they are today and of course their numbers will fall.

@@jimchung5710 did you read my comment? I know there is a lot of land. Seriously. Not cool.

@@10percenter1 I did and I tried to answer your concerns. If you dont know anything about polar bear biology you would think there is plenty of land for them to roam but like I said they need specific biomes to hunt. I was not trying to attack of offend you so what exactly was not cool?

@@jimchung5710 I see. I know they are losing habitat with the melting ice and they have to roam further and further to find food so it’s easier for them to look for food where humans live.

This government should leave everybody alone, they have no clue!
