Before we act to harsh on the zoo: they said in the beginning that of course the best way to raise a polar bear is to have him raised by his mom- they just weren't sure that under the zoo conditions the moms would know how to to do it.
Handraising is even more of a risk than leaving them with their moms (small animals get their immunity against infections with the milk from their mom and are extremely in danger of dying from the slightest infection when they are handraised) - so it was a last resort and of course we all will hope that little Flocke (as in snow-flake) survives I saw a video this morning and she is just the cutest thing ever.
