A polar bear that wandered its way into a remote village in Alaska killed a woman and a boy on Tuesday.
Alaska State Troopers reported before the Polar Bear attacked the woman and the boy the massive bear was chasing residents in the remote village of Wales, Alaska.
Shortly after the bear mauled to death the woman and child, a local resident got out his gun and killed the bear.
The Alaska State Police stated “Troopers and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game are working to travel to Wales as weather conditions allow.”
The victims of the tragic attack have yet to be identified to the public due to the next of kin of the victims have yet to be notified.
Per the US Census, the small village of Wales has only 168 residents and this is the first Polar Bear attack the village has ever had.
Polar bear attacks are extremely rare.
According to the The Wildlife Society from 1869-2014 there have only been 74 polar bear attacks and a majority of the attacks came from captive polar bears.
As The Gateway Pundit reported back in 2011.
After Democrats passed their junk scienceCap and Trade legislation in June 2009 a report was released, and suppressed, that showed that polar bear numbers, far from decreasing, were much higher than they were 30 years ago.
In fact, it’s about time for a cull.
Polar bear numbers in Canada have increased in 11 of 13 regions in recent years.
Polar bear encounters on the North Slope oil fields have risen to record levels the last two years (as of 2011).There are 5 times as many polar bears today as there were 50 years ago:
In December 2010 the Obama Administration admitted that polar bears are not endangered but are a “threatened” species due to non-existent global warming climate change.
Despite the fact that the bear populations are booming, the Obama administration set aside 187,000 square miles in Alaska as a “critical habitat” for polar bears recently. The action that could restrict future drilling for oil and gas development.
Now, to top it all off, we find out the scientists who first reported on drowned polar bears is under investigation and likely fabricated the story.
As TGP originally reported back in 2011 –It’s about time for a cull, wouldn’t you say?
