Mother and baby 4" and 2", polar 3" (shoulder height 1 1/4")In the wild, polar bears live in the Artic - swimming amongst drifting ice floes. Their thick coats insulate them well against the ice and snow. They are magnificent animals in their natural environment.
How disturbing then, to find that some people think that it is entertaining to keep them in intolerable tropical heat and force them to perform ridiculous tricks. In Latin America, travelling circuses still exploit polar bears for entertainment. One such circus - the Suarez Bros. - has been found with 6 polar bears, kept in cages in a parking lot in sweltering conditions, panting and dehydrated.
WSPA is determined to put an end to such cruelty in this and other circuses. (Text & Foto Libearty)
