In a tragic incident at a remote radar site in Canada’s Arctic region, a worker was fatally attacked by two polar bears, leading to the killing of one of the bears.
This event, while devastating, raises significant concerns about the measures in place to protect both employees and the endangered polar bears that inhabit these regions.
Sign this petition to urge Canadian Wildlife Services and Nasittuq Corp. to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances of this incident and to implement stronger protective measures for humans and wildlife!
The decision to kill one of the bears instead of using non-lethal means suggests a grievous lack of preparedness and regard for wildlife conservation, especially for a species that is globally recognized as threatened due to habitat loss from climate change.
The polar bear’s death highlights a severe oversight in handling wildlife interactions humanely and effectively.
It is crucial that we address these issues promptly to prevent further loss of life – both human and animal.
By implementing better strategies and training, companies like Nasittuq Corp. can safeguard their workers and protect the majestic polar bears that are vital to our ecosystem.
Sign the petition to demand that Canadian authorities and Nasittuq Corp. take immediate steps to improve their wildlife management policies and ensure the safety and preservation of endangered species.
