In Reykjvik, Iceland, A commission has recommended that polar bears be shot and not offered a free haven. Two polar bears were shot affter they landed on the northern coast of Iceland. They were swept to sea on floes from Greenland. This sparked protests from conservationists and animal rights groups.
The commission head, Hjalti Gudmundsson said the polar bears pose a threat to humans and there are large costs of moving the large mammals back to Greenland or a zoo. Police were forced to shoot one bear in June when it charged a group of reporters "in a panic".
