Pizzly found in Canada

[The Monkey]

A white bear with brown patches shot dead in northern Canada is the first grizzly-polar hybrid found in the wild, DNA tests have confirmed.

Canadian wildlife officials say it is the offspring of a male grizzly bear and a female polar bear.

"It's something we've all known was theoretically possible because their habitats overlap a little bit and their breeding seasons overlap a little bit," said Ian Stirling, a biologist at the Canadian Wildlife Service in Edmonton.

So the guy shot it because he thought it was a Polar bear? Arsehole... somebody should shoot him :angry: :flame:

I heard about this yesterday from a friend. When he said, "The bear was shot by an American," we both started singing, "AMERICA, **** YEAH!" We're great, we are (Americans). Find the first naturally-occuring polar/grizzly hybrid and what do we do?

We shoot it.

Awesome.

What a stupid ****

edit - for shooting it

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

YEAH. IF YOU GO HUNTING YOU SHOULD ONLY WOUND THEM.

You people are retarded.

I wonder if the guy would've shot it if he knew it was a hybrid.

I wonder if the guy would've shot it if he knew it was a hybrid.

Of course. He owns a good ol' fashioned Diesel pickup.

Hurhurhur.

You people are retarded.

People who go hunting should be shot.

 

[Ikerous]

People who go hunting should be shot.

I'd imagine you'd feel the same way about people that eat meat?
Or is it more ethical when you have someone else kill it for you?

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

People who go hunting should be shot.

I think you should be shot.

I wonder if the guy would've shot it if he knew it was a hybrid.

Hardly. He probably thought it was a dirty polar bear.

this was one of those times when this gun would have come in handy

 

[short recoil]

Ligers are better.

QFT.

People who go hunting should be shot.

People who eat should be shot because they make people hunt.

 

[short recoil]

People who go hunting should be shot.

So should everyone then.

 

[DeusExMachina]

So should everyone then.

No arguments there.

 

[CptStern]

People who eat should be shot because they make people hunt.

So should everyone then.

that comparison doesnt pan out because:

The hybrid bear was shot last month by an American big game hunter

it has nothing to do with hunting for survival/food

I bet if someone ask the hunter if he feel bad that he shooted a rare specimen(right?) sure he will reply "why? is canadian"
