This headline is misleading, and missing important context. According to this very article, the polar bear, "was shot by police after being considered a threat." The police chief stated, "the bear was very close to a summer house. There was an old woman in there." https://apnews.com/article/polar-bear-shot-iceland-policy-greenland-ice-0d3badd4b7f5e320d992ce7f0dc600fd?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter#:~:text=It%E2%80%99s%20not%20something%20we%20like%20to%20do%2C%E2%80%9D%20Jensson%20said.%20%E2%80%9CIn%20this%20case%2C%20as%20you%20can%20see%20in%20the%20picture%2C%20the%20bear%20was%20very%20close%20to%20a%20summer%20house.%20There%20was%20an%20old%20woman%20in%20there
