I'm sure the bear was not wasted...it nature.

Killing bears are totally banned, except for in self defence. But for a polar bear you are lunch. This means that a bear or two is taken out every year in self defence as the regularily comes in conflict with idiots.

Else the seek to relocate them, or simply scare the living daylights out of them so they never go near people again.

Looks amazing. You're very lucky, growing up in such a beautiful place.
