The town of Churchill has a unique "detention center" that detains not people, but polar bears. The town of Churchill also brings a lot to the local polar bears

The town of Churchill has a unique "detention center" that detains not people, but polar bears. The town of Churchill also gave a very "unfriendly" impression to the local polar bears, so that many polar bears only dared to look at it from afar.

Churchill is a town on the west coast of Hudson Bay in North America, this town has a long history and only 8900 permanent residents.

The town's unique location at the junction of three biomes: ocean, boreal forest and tundra attracts tens of thousands of tourists and researchers every year.

Every year in late autumn, polar bears come here from all over the place, waiting for the sea ice to condense in Hudson Bay before heading to Hudson Bay for a seal "feast". Therefore, the town of Churchill has the reputation of "the polar bear capital of the world".

If a large number of wild animals gather in areas of human activity, there will inevitably be conflicts between humans and animals. In the early days, the town of Churchill had more than 6,000 inhabitants at its peak, and the garbage produced by the residents was piled up in open dumps, which often attracted polar bears, so at that time polar bears were frequently killed for attacking people.

Since then, in order to protect the local population and reduce the number of polar bears killed by attacks. As a result, the town closed the open dump and converted the abandoned hangar into a "polar bear detention facility".

With this polar bear detention center, people will first drive away the polar bear that breaks into the town, and if it cannot be driven or the polar bear has broken into the town many times, it will be directly arrested and taken to the "detention center" and then locked up for 30 days. During his "detention," he is not given food, only water and ice, and when he is "sentenced," he is anesthetized and sent to tundra or sea ice to release him. In this way, polar bears are given an "unbearable" experience, making them reluctant to approach human habitation.

This method is very barbaric, but it is very effective, there are fewer polar bears who dare to break into the town, the residents are effectively protected, and the polar bears will no longer be killed because of attacks, but also indirectly protected, killing two birds with one stone.
