Doing hard time in Manitoba's polar bear jail: "The bears also do not have cellmates. Stainless-steel doors cover the bars so the bears cannot see people or each other. Conservation officials want to prevent them from getting accustomed to humans to avoid complications when they are released. Usually bears 'do' 30 days in the Churchill compound before they are tranquilized, put in a net and flown up north where they are marked with a green dot and tattooed before being released. Each flight costs approximately $3,000 and usually only carries one bear at a time."

Jesus. Ed Meese is everywhere these days.
Now who's crying?!?
are they initially jailed for cannibalizing their cubs, as per the photo from earlier in the week? you were right, you can't erase that image..
If they're identified as cannibal bears they get a little teardrop tattooed under one eye.
In the U.P. of Michigan, they call this Bad Bear School. My brother used to do this for problem black bears, he said they'll fall for peanut butter every time.
Those bears, when they get back to their buddies all tattooed and green-dotted, they must be revered as badasses!!!
Geez, between this and the cannibal cub-eating, not to mention the whole "global warming is killing them" thing, polar bears are NOT having a very jolly holiday season, are they?
Also not widely reported: the shit we use to make couches inflammable is making Polar Bears hermaphroditic.

Kinky!
New Mexico!?
Boy, if you want to teach a polar bear a lesson, I guess shipping it off to New Mexico is as good a way as any.
1 out of 15 adult male polar bears is in jall, people. WHEN WILL IT STOP.
Mr. Spence said the polar bear jail looks like a prison for humans, "but the bars are bigger and the doors are bigger, naturally."
But still not big enough to get through, naturally.
