In response, a group of researchers is suggesting a program of supplemental feeding as a potential solution. kris wasowicz Environment Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:09:07 -0600 Somehow i find it hard to believe the assumption. bears in general are extremely<br /> intelligent and resourceful.Since commercial fur hunting ceased,seals are very plentiful and bears population increased.Those are facts.seals have to reproduce and who is to say that they will not find a way to do it other than ice. Most seals reproduce on dry land.and the bears will follow food sources.Those doomsday scenarios serve only one purpose. scare low information people.<br /> KW Craig Environment Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:20:26 -0600 Polar bears love human.
