14 DAY TRIAL // This April 1, a polar bear somehow made it all the way from the Arctic to Russia's Kremlin. The picture above shows the polar bear using a paddle and its paws in order to navigate the Moskva River. “Help!” and “Arctic Not for Sale,” read the two banners that this polar bear wishes the Russian people to read.
For those who have yet to figure out why a man would dress up as a polar bear and sail up and down the Moskva River, the answer is fairly simple.
The man is a Greenpeace activist who wants no more and no less than to make sure that real polar bears do not have their homes destroyed by oil and gas companies.
Although this polar bear wanna-be was “rescued” by local police officers and taken to a nearby station, it appears that he was soon allowed to leave on account of his not being a threat to anyone.
“Being an illegal immigrant without Moscow registration, he was brought to a police station and interrogated. But police officers had been compassionate to the poor Arctic refugee and soon let him go without bringing any charges,” Greenpeace writes on its official website.
