    This was your claim:

    Releasing captured diseased animals has been done before.

    Evidence please that animals with diseases have been released in the wild.

    Also, why would Iceland build a polar bear jail when there hasn’t been another polar bear since 2016?

      I thought you would prefer something more polar bear oriented, but OK. And to be clear since I think your reading comprehension might be failing you again, they treat the diseases before releasing the animals.

      Here is an organization that does that.
      https://www.wildlife-rescue.org/

      And a youtube channel that does it as well.
      https://www.youtube.com/@WacoWildlifeRescue

      Now, I haven’t vetted them to see if they are perfect at their jobs, but it is certainly an example of what I suggested.

      Also, why would Iceland build a polar bear jail when there hasn’t been another polar bear since 2016?

      So they don’t have to shoot the bears obviously.

        1. You said nothing about treating diseases.
        2. Who is going to pay for that? The government? Why would voters agree to spend money on something needed about once a decade?

          I did.

          Wildlife veterinarians job is to treat captured animals and release them back into the wild. If you want any specifics you would have one of them.

          My initial comment did not explicitly say they would be treated because I thought that would be obvious. I guess I gave you too much credit. But you still should have figured it out when I mention veterinarians.

          Who is going to pay for that? The government? Why would voters agree to spend money on something needed about once a decade?

          Again that’s not something I am qualified to to work out. You would have to ask someone else for that.

            Cool. Similarly, I’m not qualified to work out the unshoot the bear solution. Someone else can work that out. Seems like a better solution than a bear jail.
