Video of Iceland Polar Bear being shot

I'd reported on this yesterday, via Andy Towle. The police in Iceland shot and killed an exhausted and starving polar bear, when they could have just tranquilized it. They then posed with the dead animal. The polar bear had swum 200 miles in search of land - because of global warming, polar bears are increasingly drowning because they don't have ice flows to rest on. There's now video of the shoot via an Australian paper. I captured a number of screen shots of the video, to the left - you can click the image to see a much larger version. These guys really are asses.

As an aside, this is the perfect issue for enviro groups to go nuts on in order to educate the public about global warming, as I've been saying for years. Drowning polar bears? Kind of a made-for-TV image. But they won't jump on it the right way because they're good liberals, and good liberals don't seize opportunities, they miss them. Sigh.
