Dead animals

August 31, 2012

A couple days ago there were sightings of two polar bears in town. Us, the newbies in town, of course wanted to get a glimpse of these bears, even though the locals see them more as a danger than anything else. Well, after school, Ashley, Cassandra and I decided to go for a walk before heading back to school to plan out the next day. We bumped into one of the teachers who told us to stick around the area because the polar bear was found and shot down outside of town, and that they were bringing it back in (hopefully still in one peace). We stuck around but there was nothing. We then bumped into the mayor (yes, there is a mayor in town lol) who told us that the bear was being cut up where it was caught. Maybe next time we can get a glimpse of a polar bear...alive or dead.

 (this photo was taken by Barry, the Northern manager of the two polar bears, which I found out today, were both shot down. So sad!)

On a brighter note, today is Friday! And it’s the long weekend! So far it’s been great. Left school at a decent time (5pm), had a good dinner and even did some dancing on the xbox connect with some good company. However, I would say the highlight of my day was watching Ashley being chased by children and a goose. Only in the arctic....lol
