Am I correct in thinking that polar bears are the only animals (with one obvious exception) that kill purely for killing's sake?

No bud, many apex predators have been documented as acting in a "killing frenzy" when prey is plentyful. One i can think of now is watching a Leopard go nuts jumping on gazelle in a camoflaged bushy area.
Something spooked them and the all bolted through this bush and the leopard was seen to kill at least 9 of them with no hope of ever eating it all.

It's a myth about foxes doing it for fun though. They fully intend on taking all chickens away but generally they are very skittish and easily spooked so the sight of a bunch of dead hens means something disturbed his lunch.

They fully intend on taking all chickens away

what a ridiculous statement to make unless you are a fox!

I was half listening to the radio last night. Did I hear correctly that the one that got killed had decided to punch the bear on the nose and that is pretty much why the bear took his head off?

I would imagine the bop on the nose didn't really register with the bear, more the panic and chaos it was causing in the tent. I can't imagine the horror of waking up with one of those beasts in the tent with you, ripping into anything that moved. It's an awful story, but if you go into the beats lair, expect the beast to bite.

But he did punch him on the nose then. Shame Blue Smarties wasn't there to pile in and split them up. I can see it now, him getting in a sledge afterwards, "Boys, the polar bear has ripped my trousers!"

I think playing dead is possibly the best course of action against a bear, I blame john west.

Waging class war on a thread about polar bears and the death of a seventeen year old boy. Well done.

liar

Well the answer to the question is yes. Which leaves me a little confused I must confess. If that makes me a liar then does that mean I've never told a sick joke?

What I've never done is make a joke about the death of a child. Perhaps you have different moral standards than me.

Got any good ones about Soham you want to share with everyone?

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

shouldn't have shot it.

 

[SWP's back]

shouldn't have shot it.

It was shot during the attack.

If you already knew that, then you're a little simple.

I don't think so but I can't prove you incorrect at this time.

foxes and killer whales do for a start

Foxes don't. They might get in a hen house and kill every bird, but if they get the chance they will come back and take every single on and bury it for later.
David Attenborough told me.
The obvious exception is us. Humans kill for sport.
