  2. They’ll twist it to show the desperation of the bears to find food sources. It would be icing on the cake though if the electric fence is powered by wind generation 🙂 All that aside I do hope he makes a full recovery.

  3. But those bears are so fiendly in the commercials, how could they possibly hurt Sierra Club members? Don’t the bears read the papers, or watch TV?
    More naive city dwellers, navigating the wilds of the Disney channel…..

  4. Weird looking bugger that guy is. No wonder the bear attacked.
    How come all these people have to have beards, long hair and a generally unkempt appearance?

  5. Very smart bear. When he realized his prey was both a lawyer and a Sierra Clubber he spit him out.

  6. Hiring an armed inuit guide sounds like a scam. Why can’t you just take your own rifle?

    easy now there boy, I resemble that remark:-)))

  9. A great philosopher once said, I think it was pertaining to environMENTALists, (stupid is as stupid does). But but you told us those bears are cute and cuddly and just love to purr and roll around with coke and you never mentioned attitude and claws Mr. Suzuki. This is a great start.

  10. Doesn’t that just make you pine for the old days where if one was going to a remote national park the park wardens would very strongly suggest that if you weren’t armed you should go home. When I worked briefly in Nahani national park, there was a no unarmed visitors policy. We had a grizzly and her cubs walk right through our camp but fortunately didn’t have to shoot her. That was also back in the days when as soon as bears saw a human they’d run in the other direction. Also tells me that polar bears aren’t getting shot at enough.

    Portable electric fence indeed. Earthy as hell but still no friggin idea what a bear really is. You can put your food up a tree away from the camp and all…. but fart just once and it’s all over.

  13. Many moons ago I received a panicked phone call from a frontier lady who lived at the edge of the foothills forest. Her words were to the effect “Come here quickly, your city slicker buddy and his city slicker girlfriend are planning on going hiking/camping in the forest but they don’t know s**t about grizzly bears!” “Would you mind going with them?” “Bring your rifle or I will lend you mine!”

  14. Oh my. The only poly bear left who hasn’t drowned found this camp site? At least it had the sense to spit out the crap it was eating. Now where is PETA when you need one? Effing idiot. To bad the bear didn’t finish the job.Now if we could just import a few of them to the GTA. But I guess that would be really be cruel to the bears.
    Spent 2 summers up north.You didn’t even take a crap without a rifle with you.Polar bears can,and do,hunt humans as a snack.Not to mention the wolves. Good learning curve for the idjits though.If you see bear tracks around your site,you have all ready been targeted.Your bested buddy up there is a rifle,and a good dog.

  16. Is that also one of the Montreal hospitals that has had cleanliness problems?

  17. Because 1. then you would have your own rifle, and government doesn’t want that and
    2. it smacks of self-reliance, and the government really doesn’t want that and
    3. A regulation that gets you to hire an Inuit as a bear guard is the government “creating a job” for a disadvantaged minority and
    4. paying someone to do something that you could and should do for yourself means that someone is earning income which the government can tax.
    The government works for the government.

  18. So this Canadian polar bear meets this Yankee polar bear along the border, and the Canadian polar bear says “Hey there cousin, you look as though you’re in dandy shape…what are you chewing on?” And the Yankee Polar bear says, “Why son, I’m living on all them big fat Canadian seals our Sierra Club lawyers are saving from all your Canadian hunters – but tell me brother, you look kinda thin…what are you eatin’?”
    And the Canadian polar bear says, “Well, there’s nothing left to eat up here anymore but Sierra Club do-gooders. But when I attack them, I jump on them and knock all the air out. And then I growl, and that scares the shit out of them. So after you do that, there isn’t much left but hide and hair!

  19. An environmentalist with a rifle on hand maybe get the idea to safe the polar bear and shorten his suffering instead, that gentleman can call himself lucky that there had been only flares available to take some action.

  20. Anyone know if the bear is ok?
    Chewing on an Eco hippie Greenie whackadoodle could really harm an innocent bear.
    Maybe they should have used tofu deodorant instead of flimsy electric fence to scare the bear away.

  21. So who is paying his medical bills? Private insurance or Obamacare and lets not forget the sight seeing tour in the helicopter.

  23. Right on, TheTooner and minuteman. One other advantage to this scam, some bureaucrat can say they are taking action to solve the problem while increasing the size of their own fiefdom.
    In reality, other than killing the bear instead of scaring it with flares, I don’t think an Inuit bear guard would have helped in this situation much more than the flares did.
    Or does the government figure the guard would stay up all night every night, rifle at the ready, poised to leap into action at the first sight or sound of a miscreant bear breaching the perimeter?

  24. Hypocrites! Since the Sierra Club is all about mankind not disturbing the ‘fragile’ ecosystem, the dingbats should not have prevented the poor starving polar bear from having a good meal. I’ll bet they even used carbon-dioxide generating flares too.
    “If it saves even one bear…”

  27. If that bear had eaten that guys brain, he might of then have started having flash-backs.

  28. Mostly this story is good – naturally we all wish that the bear had eaten the lawyer, but lawyers are smart and devious. What does annoy me is that these Sierra Club – people – were able to get to the Torngats. The Torngats are not high mountains, but they are high relief, so the mountains are very picturesque. They are also rather hard to get to, and wasting them on Sierra bearmeat is very sad.

  29. Tree huggers don’t own rifles. They are one with nature….until they get into the real world. Then they are simply lunch for those beloved polar bears.

  31. Luckily, most of my encounters with polar bears have been with altitude on my side. One bear was up on his hind legs swinging at the aircraft (short-sighted bear I assume). Going up the Eastern side of Hudson’s Bay taking Quebec wildlife people on a polar bear survey, we saw 54 of the critters (nearly extinct, huh?). The same wildlife folks had had their helicopter fall on its side when they landed for lunch the previous year – that nearly gave the polar bears a nice can of instant people – at least the Quebecers were happy to be a little higher and with fixed wings. Another time, we saw mom and baby polar bear standing on the edge of the cliffs of Baffin Island looking down about 3,000 feet. No acrophobia in polar bears apparently…
    Flying/travelling in the North can be fun but also potentially lethal. This time, the bear got only 1/8th of the group, better luck next time.

  34. It was once one of the best hospitals in the world (back when I was born in it, and the Scottish influence was strong). Then the separatists got hold of it. Now? A disease-ridden hellhole. So much for the ability of the Quebecois to run their own affairs.
    I see that the lawyer is in critical condition.

  38. I suspect the lawyer’s bells were out of tune with the rest of the group, and decided he didn’t belong in the choir. Was probably also a little tired of his food being over-spiced with pepper.

  39. Kate ; That bear will need more then a case of coke to wash the taste of lawyer out of his mouth. Toss in a couple of jugs of CC, maybe a drunk bear will forget the trauma of lefty lawyer slime on his tongue.

  41. They should have known that polar bears are generally dangerous; but that would have been profiling by colour.

  42. Sierra Club and its leftist moron tour package’s or as they like to call it an awareness campaign..
    I have ask hows that whistle and clapping working out for you? Wondering if you are somehow more aware of large meat eating predictors than before?
    Everybody stamp your feet and clap your hands!!
    The Campptown leftist’s sing this song,
    Doo-da, Doo-da
    The Camptown morons five miles long
    Oh, de doo-da day
    What do we do if the bear likes dinner music?

  43. Brings to mind an old homely “When you exit the car(plane, helo, etc.) you enter the food chain! We’ve had deaths in Canada by bears, wolves, cougars and coyotes and still the Canadian government is opposed to law-abiding Canadians carrying firearms where they are needed.

  44. It should be easy to find the bear … he’d be the one trying to get the taste of lawyer out of his mouth by eating caribou shit.
