Evidence please.
In other words: "I don't care if you say you aren't a troll, I don't care if the mods say you aren't a troll, I don't care if your post history shows you clearly aren't a troll. You disagree with me, therefore, you are a troll."
Wildlife veterinarians job is to treat captured animals and release them back into the wild. If you want any specifics you would have one of them
In Churchill, Canada they have a polar bear jail, where they place captured polar bears that wander into town. I would guess that some veterinary care is provided since they stay there for up to 30 days, but you'd have to ask them for any specifics if you want it.

This was your claim:
Evidence please that animals with diseases have been released in the wild.
Also, why would Iceland build a polar bear jail when there hasn't been another polar bear since 2016?
I thought you would prefer something more polar bear oriented, but OK. And to be clear since I think your reading comprehension might be failing you again, they treat the diseases before releasing the animals.
Here is an organization that does that.

And a youtube channel that does it as well.

Now, I haven't vetted them to see if they are perfect at their jobs, but it is certainly an example of what I suggested.
So they don't have to shoot the bears obviously.
I did.
My initial comment did not explicitly say they would be treated because I thought that would be obvious. I guess I gave you too much credit. But you still should have figured it out when I mention veterinarians.
Again that's not something I am qualified to to work out. You would have to ask someone else for that.
Cool. Similarly, I'm not qualified to work out the unshoot the bear solution. Someone else can work that out. Seems like a better solution than a bear jail.
