Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

World's Saddest Polar Bear.

Post by Anchor Moy »

I dunno if this is the "world's saddest polar bear" or not, but keeping a polar bear and other wild animals in an aquarium in a Chinese shopping mall is pretty sick. It makes the Tiger Temple in Thailand look classy. I remember there was a similar "zoo" in a Bangkok mall, but I think it got shut down ? (Not sure though.) Free the bears :mob:
One video released by Animals Asia, a Hong Kong-based animal charity, showed a bear at the zoo, believed to be polar-brown bear hybrid, lying limply on the ground of an enclosure.

The bear “suffers for selfies,” the animal welfare group wrote.

“Trapped in the middle of a shopping center in China ― his white fur contrasting against the unnaturally blue display he is an unwilling part of ― this sad polar bear has no escape,” wrote the group. “Nowhere to hide from people taking photos ― banging on the windows and shouting. Nothing natural, no attempt to create an environment that would meet the needs of any living bear ― never mind this vast magnificent animal.

I read elsewhere that the zoo directors said they were surprised by the horrified reaction worldwide when this video was released. They didn't understand it at all and would like to know how to make things better for "Pizza" the polar bear. :suicide:

His name is Pizza? I'm already a fan and starting a GoFundMe account isn't out of the question either.

Looks bipolar to me, truly sad. The owners should be thrown in jail.

At least he had AC, compare him to the polar bear in singapore zoo, where their fur turned dirty brown due to the tropical heat, thats truly torture for a polar bear.

Probably bought from Russia. I doubt the Canadians, Norwegians or Americans would have donated a polar bear without checking out the legitimacy of a Chinese "zoo".

In Alaska, if your not a native and you do anything to a polar bear, you will spend a lot of time in the federal gray bar hotel. Yes, it probably came from Russia. More than likely they killed the mother and took it as a cub.

Trivia question: (don't cheat and google the answer.) What color is the skin of a polar bear?

Scarier than malaria.
