Although it has been scientifically proven that over 95% of polar bears kept in zoos suffer from behavioral disorder, many zoos still keep these animals in too small and inadequate enclosures. The wild polar bear uses to walk very long distances while hunting, which they cannot do in zoos. Furthermore the high differences in temperature compared to his home, the Arctic, contribute to his suffering. Another problem is that most enclosures are made of concrete and provide no hiding places, so that the visitors can have a better look at the bears. This increases the stress of the bears even more.
The behavioral disorder often results into aggressive behavior and many female bears killing their children after birth because of the stress.
Therefore polar bears in zoos should be forbidden and the breeding should be stopped, because no zoo can provide the Arctic climate and the big districts the polar bear needs to live a normal live without behavioral disorder or suffering.
Please take action and help the polar bears.
