...
all of the creatures are "savage, blood-thirsty" ...that's how
any of the species survive. Eat, and ultimately get eaten.
Does that make the P bears "bad", "good" or simply a bear species
that evolved to survive in arctic conditions.
I like Big R's juxtaposition, but the fact is that environment, for p bears
and the other creatures that live in the arctic, is changing. Whether
that "change" is man induced, man pressured, normal climate shift, or
some combo, is the real point. It seems to me it's sort of "is what it
is"; I doubt we could really slow, let alone "stop" that change if the
world halted what "its doing", tomorrow.
I'm not tree hugging; the p bears and many other species are under
huge pressure, as their ecosystem changes, either from
climate change
and/or loss of habitat, probably initiated by man's methods in conjunction
with standard to weird weather and climate changes.
The polar bear is an easy mark, recognizable and "liked"...other species
are in a similar or the same situ, but don't have the sex appeal.
My point is, we are/will be, all under some real pressure.
