Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

A man in Fort Severn First Nation, Ontario, was seriously injured after jumping on a polar bear to protect his wife from an attack while searching for their dogs early in the morning.

The bear attacked the man before a neighbor intervened, shooting the animal, which later died in nearby woods. The man was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Experts note polar bear attacks are rare but increasing as climate change disrupts their habitats, pushing them inland in search of food.

Police continue monitoring the area for additional bears.
