Alaskan here, can confirm. Polar bears are evil. They prefer the taste of human flesh over all other food and they have a penchant for hunting children.
I used to be an "extinction is evil" type, but as I grow older I increasingly believe that the power to wipe out an entire species is humanity's greatest strength.
The issue is largely that we're very bad at choosing which species to eradicate.
The other problem is we don't usually full know what some species are doing for their environment, and are incapable of compensating for it fully. The Four Pests Campaign is a famous example of it. As is a lot of areas in America now being forced to re-introduce wolves into the wild to balance things.
The important part about strength is knowing when to exercise it and to what extent. Mindlessly killing everything weaker than us doesn't demonstrate anything the same way punching a child doesn't prove you are a powerlifter.

They also don't necessarily kill their prey first and then eat it. They will just start eating, and not really care how long it takes you to die.
Yeah I pointed that out in my other comment. They will eat you alive.
they start from your ass and work their way up while you scream
In a sane world, all polar bears would be removed. Humans are weak.

Ecosystems adjust. Such is life
Ecosystems adjust, but seeing as how we're dependent on ecosystems, we might not be able to keep up.
Yeah, but sometimes that “adjustment” is that 30 million people die of famine.
If that happened today: 1). Trade would make up for the wheat loss. 2.) a new method would be created to control locusts.
