Talk to the animals first

Some scientists will never speak for the animals unless they somehow learn to communicate with them.

There are talks about polar pears and seals related to climate change, and some scientists think that they will not survive without the ice cover.

My question is to them is how did you figure that out? Did they tell you that they are concerned about losing the ice? Who gave you the authority to speak on their behalf?

If you did not get permission from the animals, stop your hypothetical answers and stop telling us how the animals will react because you have no idea, you probably never even stepped on ice or even seen these animals.
