Wow this video shows this poor polar bear in stress yet the zoo does nothing about it... What is this world why are humans so selfish? Cant we change the way humans treat animals... We need to sue this zoo. Who is with me?

Shunning zoos and circuses is just a start. We need strong, enforceable international laws for the protection of animals, endangered or not. This was 22 years of captivity torture, and people went every day and looked at it for entertainment, watching the animal go crazy. For 22 years. And other people were paid to keep it there. Shame on Argentina, what a terrible, cruel, backward country.

That is just downright sad.

I hate zoos with exotic animals and I despise people who pay money to watch suffering animals in zoos (and sea worlds). They are psychopaths - and raising their kids to be the same! No person with a sane mind and a shred of empathy would enjoy watching this kind of suffering. 22 years. My God.

Try not to cry. Lie down. Cry a lot

I cried after seeing this video. humans are wicked!

Why would people do something. People should sue!

That is soooooooo sad. 22 years!! Oh s**t! What creatures are we!!! S**t. Blame on all of us f*****g humanes!!!

This post keeps popping up and it makes me sadder each time I see it. This zoo and the people who watched him suffer there are the very definition of evil, sick and selfish.

Poor thing!!! You see the bear acting like that but still won't let him go, WTF!!!! Them human ain't shyt!!!

Zoo like this is the hell, not the place to animals live!!! I understand there is many creatures which can live only in some kind of reserve, but these horrible zoos have to be all closed! Animals are alone in horrible places. This is not life, that is prison just for human pleasure!!!

How terrible a species we are to continually subject animals to life in captivity in unnatural climates so humans can go see them. I haven't been to zoos, circuses, marine land, discovery cove in years and years since various organizations have been shedding light on the plight on animals. Let's all be part of the solution...

and prolly smart enough to remember the first 8 ;'/

Don't know what to say. It's sad.

My heart breaks literally and tears all at the 1st picture. I cant even finish scrolling, let alone the video. Please, please, I hope something is done to raise an awareness for matters like this. I'm sorry my species treated you so badly, po bear. I really am. Youre release from your sorrow now. I'm sorry.

This is just so incredibly sad. :( There are too many heartless and greedy people in this world.

I think most zoos are sanctuaries that keep their populations up and keep them well fed. But this, this is evil. In no way is this >

As I understand it, zoos are private business. As a business they do not had to give one good G** D***m about the opinion of anyone else. As a result we have a**h***s who are willing to let animals suffer for endless amounts of time, as commodities not living creatures

Animals are not toys 😭

Heartbreaking, I wish people stopped paying to see abused animals at zoos and circuses.

So sad!!!

I feel so horribly sorry for this tortured animal. The sick sad management of this zoo should be immediately sacked and purged of the field as they have zero competency in conservation. They were just prolonging the torture of this poor bear, what for? Money. RIP Arturo!

I can't fathom the mental stress. that's hell if I could ever describe it.

Poor bear,he had to wait his death to rest..

Why does this keep happening.. No matter how many people get arrested, and warned for keeping Them captive, no one stops :-(
