First of all we do not want to hurt any animal, and we bring all our food in our sledges, so it is not necessary to kill them for food either. But if an animal is treating us, we first of all try to scare it away, and spray it with pepper spray (very strong irritating spray). But if we are threatened on our lives, we will shoot to kill the dangerous animal, before it kills us. We are bringing a strong caliber bolt action rifle with heavy short stop bullets that hopefully will stop the animal and prevent us to get injured. But we donft want to come in this situation, so we will try our very best to avoid it.

Keep up the good work at school !
