Snimak izgladnelog medveda izazvao je burne reakcije na društvenim mrežama. Naime, kanadski biolog i fotograf Paul Niklen šokirao je javnost kada je pre nekoliko dana na Instagramu objavio fotografiju izgladnelog polarnog medveda na rubu smrti na kanadskom Bafinovom ostrvu.

Polarni medvedi umiru zbog promene klime

Niklen je sa snimateljskom ekipom "Sea Legacy" stigao na ostrvo gde su naišli na prizor koji nikoga ne može ostaviti ravnodušnim.

Snimak prikazuje potpuno izgladnelog medveda na samrti. Belo krzno prekriva njegovo izmučeno telo, a zadnja noga mu se jedva vuče od slabosti dok pokušava da hoda.

My entire @Sea_Legacy team was pushing through their tears and emotions while documenting this dying polar bear. It’s a soul-crushing scene that still haunts me, but I know we need to share both the beautiful and the heartbreaking if we are going to break down the walls of apathy. This is what starvation looks like. The muscles atrophy. No energy. It’s a slow, painful death. When scientists say polar bears will be extinct in the next 100 years, I think of the global population of 25,000 bears dying in this manner. There is no band aid solution. There was no saving this individual bear. People think that we can put platforms in the ocean or we can feed the odd starving bear. The simple truth is this—if the Earth continues to warm, we will lose bears and entire polar ecosystems. This large male bear was not old, and he certainly died within hours or days of this moment. But there are solutions. We must reduce our carbon footprint, eat the right food, stop cutting down our forests, and begin putting the Earth—our home—first. Please join us at @sea_legacy as we search for and implement solutions for the oceans and the animals that rely on them—including us humans. Thank you your support in keeping my @sea_legacy team in the field.

Niklen je kao biolog video više od 3.000 medveda u divljini, ali ovakvom prizoru nikada nije svedočio.

- Stajali smo tamo i plakali, gušili smo se u suzama dok smo snimali - rekao je za "National Geographic".

Ovako izgleda spora, bolna smrt - napisao je u opisu videa. Cilj objave videa bio je, kako kaže, upozoriti na strašne posledice klimatskih promena na život na Zemlji.

Snimak je na Fejsbuku pregledalo na desetine hiljada ljudi, a na Instagramu je fotografija izmučenog medveda pregledana više od miliona puta.

Otkako je snimak postavljen na društvene mreže, mnogi su biologa pitali zašto nije pomogao jadnoj životinji.

- Prošlo mi je to kroz glavu. Ali ne idem noseći sa sobom pištolj sa sedativom ili 180 kilograma mesa od foke - kazao je. Naime, hranjenje divljih medveda u Kanadi je strogo zabranjeno zakonom pa to ne bi ni smeo učiniti.

- Sporu i mučnu smrt snimio sam jer nisam hteo da ugine uzalud. Kada naučnici kažu da će medvedi biti istrijebljeni, želim da ljudi shvate kako to izgleda. Medvedi će umirati od gladi. Ovako izgleda izgladneli medved - kaže biolog.
