Mmmm yum yum. Hey, where have all those Eskimos gone to? Ralph, did you raid that ice box last night?
What’s the context behind that photo? Bears love garbage. We call them trash pandas where I live. They wander off of a mountain with bountiful, ample amounts of sustenance, to dig in the trash for fast food.
Those are polar bears. They don't live on mountains. The concern is about global climate change ruining their natural habitat of sea ice.
The context is we are destroying our planet. That's garbage washed up in the artic. These polar bears now are dealing with their homes melting and drowning and now also our trash littering where they live.

That is clearly a landfill where they burn trash. The fact that it attracts bears is not a surprise, billowing clouds of hot garbage will attract even the most picky. I’m not contesting the fact that humans fuck up the planet, but polar bears fucking up trash cans and rummaging through landfills is not a new thing in the world’s northernmost outposts.
several small black bear cross my property often in the middle of the night...they've never once knocked over a trash bin but they go straight for my flowering plum trees and eat the leaves like they're crack....often see bear shit around the base of the tree and my neighbor has a night camera that shows 3 of them crossing our property when we're asleep..once in awhile a truck will kill one on the road from the mill. Not long ago the melting ice cause Grizzlies and Polar bears to compete for the same food chain for the first time in history...Polar Bears forced south and Grizzlies migrating further north..read they'd never encounter each other before in history
I don't believe the part about grizzlies encountering polar bears only recently is true. I'm sure it happens more often now, but they have identified cases of where they have interbred for several years now.
