LET’S FACE IT. MANY HUMANS HATE WILD ANIMALS. ANIMAL MURDER.
Illegal massacre of polar bears by trophy hunters on remote (Russian) Arctic island. Criminal probe is continuing.
4 August 2017 (The Siberian Times) – The gruesome evidence of illegal hunting was found on uninhabited Vilkitsky Island in the Kara Sea.

The carcasses and used gun cartridges were found by members of an ecological clean-up team sent to the remote territory.

Summer thawing meant the polar bear remains became visible.

There are claims that local police initially sought to cover up the crime - possibly suggesting an elite hunting group was involved in the bloody massacre. But the prosecutor’s office subsequently opened a criminal probe.

Andrey Baryshnikov, head of the Russian Centre of Arctic Exploration, said: ‘When they spotted the carcasses they immediately got in touch with me via satellite connection because this is a very serious case.

“We passed the information to the police.”

A case was opened once law enforcement received the gruesome pictures of the polar bear remains
