FREE ARTURO: The Polar Bear In Despair

The Issue

Arturo is the last captive polar bear in Argentina and his life and health are slowly fading due to extreme heat and poor conditions in which he is enslaved in.  For some time animal activists/advocates and many animal angels around the world have been determined and dedicated in campaigning to get Mendoza Zoo to free Arturo so that he can be brought into a more suitable and adequate environment - where temperatures are appropriate - to free him into a sanctuary in hopes of saving his life and get him the appropriate medical care that he needs.

    Unfortunately the pleas/cries of countless people are going unheard and ignored by Mendoza Zoo officials -- and it is time that we raise our paws united so that they have no choice but to hear and acknowledge our demand for Arturo's Freedom.
