it really upsets me to see these beautiful animals with no food because the polar ice is melting faster and for longer....

if i were the film crew i would be lugging huge quantities of meat about with me....Sad
i dont know how they manage not to interfere.

I don't know if I can watch tomorrow's episode. It doesn't look like easy viewing.

I'm in love with this program!! I've never been so involved in a wildlife thing, they are just beautiful. Makes me want to go and live on a boat :)
I'd totally be taking a couple of seals from the fat bears to Lyra too!
Thursday is the next episode.

On the Planet Earth series there was a 'making of' segment where they discussed the only time a crew had intervened - trapped penguin iirc. Must be hard to resist but they're supposed to observe objectively to educate.

I don't know if I'll watch tomorrow's. I love wildlife shows but am prone to blubbing when things don't end happily.

i might need to turn tv over....if this isnt going to end well im going to blub. polar bears are doomed arent they - long term i dont think they will survive the lack of polar ice.

why cant they feed her?

oh she cant feed micky....Sad

I'd give them some fish if I was the crew. Meat, whatever. She needs food. Wish I hadn't watched this. Poor Micky and Lyra.

This programme is so distressing. Poor poor Lyra and Mickey, poor polar bears.

It's so fucking depressing and upsetting, the whole ice melting / polar bear scenario.

I want to watch tomorrow but I need to know if they die. I don't want to watch if they do Sad. I need a spoiler to let me know.

Did you know that polar bears are moving to north Canada and mating with grizzlies? They are called Pizzly bears or Grolar bears.......not a joke, true!!!!

I think they're over doing the drama a bit saying Lyra being ready to pounce. She clearly didn't have any strength in her at all. It just said it's illegal to feed them. Sad.

I have had to leave the tv to tend to a sick small person - please let me know what happens. My poor hormonal heart was breaking when she was refusing to feed Mickey.

ThatVikRinA22 · 10/01/2013 22:21

yeah i saw that about it being illegal too tabliope - i understand the reasoning but i wonder if they couldnt have just pushed those whale carcasses to shore a bit.....that wouldnt be feeding them would it?!
