Animals must be in their natural habitat or suffer the fate of this unfortunate polar bear, as well as the fate of hundreds of other animals in zoos in China and elsewhere that were mistreated and died from either choking on a plastic bag, thrown at it by some “thinking” visitor, from a stone thrown at it by some idiot, by being given bad or rotten food, or from utter neglect, abnormal temperatures and acts of sheer violence.

There is no respect for animals in this country, even at the zoos, otherwise, why would the bear’s enclosure be so tacky and in need of a clean up and a paint job.

The zoo keepers should be punished.

The prime issue is the staff doesn’t care and nothing is done until there is a groundswell of public opinion against them, which then pushes them to do what they should have done at the outset.

SHAMEFUL !!!
