By now most of you have probably heard about the polar bear who, after swimming 200 miles (about 300km) to Iceland, where police promptly shot and killed it. The fact that melting ice forced the bear to swim 200 miles in search of land is disgusting in and of itself, but to outright kill it is even worse. There's video of the actual shooting at the Sydney Morning Herald but I warn you, it is graphic.

I looked for the actual video that SMH has on their site, but it looks like it may have been pulled from Youtube.

I have yet to hear a good excuse as to why the bear was shot, and absolutely no measures were taken to try and relocate the bear. This whole event seriously pisses me off.
