Chapter 20, Problem 2SL

Summary Introduction

To determine:

An argument for or against the strategy given about the pizzly bear, whether or not there is an ethical obligation to intervene if the human's actions are contributing to the breeding behavior. If polar bears have a better chance of avoiding extinction and whether the evidence that polar bears and grizzlies had interbred in the past change these answers.

Introduction:

A pizzly bear is the offspring of a polar bear and a grizzly bear. DNA evidence confirms their existence. Scientists have hypothesized that due to the warmer condition, some of the polar bears are staying on the mainland. Some people believe that the pizzly bear will be killed as they are less fit than either polar bear and grizzlies.
