A bit more context from reading the article

  • the bear was actively going through the trash of a woman's summer house while she was there which is why it was reported

  • the Iceland environmental agency actively decided to not try and relocate it, likely due to how expensive it would be to take back to Greenland

  • the bear is also being studied for potential diseases/parasites, how healthy it was, body fat, etc. which is nice I guess
