Polar Bear Dies En Route To Cleveland

[lizbud]

I am always saddened to hear of the death of a zoo animal. They are
in zoos to be safe, but then accidents do happen. The Indianapolis zoo
lost some penquins in a highway accident recently.They were being moved
so that rennovations could be made to their home inclosure.

I heard about this last night. I am only 20 mins from the Cleveland Zoo. It's pretty sad.. I rarely go to the zoo, though because I don't like to see animals being in small areas, which is just wrong, especially for the wolves.

Aaaaw, that's really sad. Poor bear, unfortunately sedating 'wild' undomesticated animals is a risky business, and I'm so sorry that this turned out to have the worst possible outcome

RIP sweet Alcor.
That is so sad. I hope it was not the fault of any person or the move itself. I hope it was of natural causes & he died peacefully & painlessly.
