The polar bear is protected in Svalbard. It is dangerous and can attack without warning. If you shoot a polar bear in self-defense, there will be a police investigation, and you must prove that you were in danger. It is possible to scare a polar bear with a flare gun. It only makes a loud bang, but it's enough to chase the bear on the run. It will often be the first thing you try before you begin to shoot. |
