Bear Protection

So Canada and Greenland have signed an agreement to form a committee to protect the polar bears in the shared hunting zones in the arctic. I wonder if this includes somehow stopping global warming from destroying the bear's habitat?

This isn't the most exciting bear news, I know. Just bear with me, people!

Polar bear hunting agreement

Canada, Greenland, and Nunavut want to come to an agreement about what the appropriate number of polar bears to hunt is.

There seems to be a dispute between local hunters and scientists about the exact number of bears in the region.

I'll follow up when an agreement is reached.

Halloween in Hudson Bay

Halloween is a little different in Hudson Bay, Manitoba. Trick or treaters have to worry about polar bear attacks while trick or treating. What's that? You don't believe me? Find out here.

Because the bears are restless this late in the season, they are predatory and dangerous. The town fortifies itself on Halloween to ensure that the kids will be safe. All of the entrances of the town are guarded by men with shot guns. Awesome.
