I have no idea why this wasn't the top story on all of the network newscasts. I mean, SURELY a crime this heinous, this earth-shattering, this....banal....would be just the sort of thing that Katie Commie would lead her newscast with.
Icelandic police said Wednesday they had shot and killed a polar bear discovered earlier this week on the island, which is hundreds of kilometres (miles) from the threatened species' natural habitat.Those SAVAGES!!! Killing unarmed little endangered creatures! Oh the horror!
"It was shot last night (Tuesday)," a police spokesman in the northern town of Saudarkrokkur told AFP.
Polar bears are rare sightings on Iceland, since they have to swim hundreds of kilometres through icy waters to reach the island from their natural Arctic habitats, but the bear discovered Monday was the second spotted and killed on the island in the past two weeks.

Scorecard: Iceland - 2, Man-made Global Warming - nil.
