i remember reading how eskimos would wrap sharp bone fragments in balls of fat and leave them for polar bears… then they would follow the bears until
they died of internal bleeding.
Elephants (and mammoths probably) are also herbivores that chew their food. Sometimes that food is a whole tree. Using the polar bear sharp bone strategy would be like feeding a razor blade to a wood chipper.
Isnt there a similar thing where they put a blood soaked knife in the snow blade up and a wild wolf will come and lick the blood off, cutting their tongue on the blade and keep lapping at it not realising its their blood until they pass out.
That reminds me of how when there is a mosquito in your arm you can pinch the skin around it, trapping its sucker in your skin and at the same time violently blasting your blood into the mosquito until it’s too fat to fly.
It’s the arctic and a polar bear. Is it fair? Well it’s about as fair as fishing. And if they don’t do either they’ll see how fair starving on a block of ice is
The same reason people shouldn’t be living in Arizona and expecting other states to divert their water to them. There is no water there you shouldn’t live there. No one is forcing anyone to live there
Just live in a habitable climate there are so many.
Just live in a biome with plentiful game, there are many
The Inuit/Eskimos are some of the more self-sustaining peoples on the planet. They don’t depend much on imports from elsewhere, at least not to my knowledge. They had to figure out many adaptations for the area but they make it work and have done so for a long time.
To compare them with a city representing the pinnacle of mankind’s hubris is a bit of a reach imo

elephants are much smarter than bears though.

Flexing your muscle also traps the little bastards.

that is such a grimy way to hunt lol. basically poisoning without the risk eating the meat

Maybe people shouldn’t be living there if they can’t survive without poisoning their prey
Wow, please tell me you’re trolling
