Depressed Polar Bear Gets New Home

[illegalsmirf]

Life in Glasgow makes everybody depressed. Glaswegians are ... not good.

i know a place where she'll be even happier....its called the wild

[plumeria66]

She needs a nicer pool to swim in...that looked like a mudhole! Glad she is not in the zoo anymore though.

[RachelxRenee]

don't they like snow? :x

R.I.P Mercedes.. x

Fail it was EDINBURGH ZOO

[Minimanta2]

No wonder she was depressed o.O That's a *tiny* enclosure! Who would even think about placing an animal such as a polar bear in there... That's just sad.

I'm glad to hear she's happy now ^.^

[Toskana135]

this video makes me sad..

[radicalrant]

I can't help but think she'd be much happier somewhere closer to her natural habitat, but being a zoo animal, she'd likely not survive for long without continued care from humans. Nice to know she's happier, but I still feel sad for her..

I went to see her in July this year, she's a LOT happier now, she's been playing in the snow, the weather is a lot cooler in the Highlands. She now has 4 acres to roam about in, which is heaps better than the Edinburgh pad. Polar bears are solitary animals, they live alone most of the time and besides, she's getting old now and probably couldn't be bothered with a mate! I had tears in my eyes watching her, to think she would have been shot if she hadn't been rescued,,,

I often love these clips but occasionally they get them so wrong with their jaunty banjo music clashing so horribly with what is such a sad image. This animal should be in the wild with other polar bears, this is so so wrong.

I hate poorly made zoos. They should be BIG enclosures (make the feeding area close to where people can see them once in awhile) and very closely made to what it's like for them in their natural habitat. Not some small claustrophobic cage surrounded by people all the time and have cement for ground. Bleh. I wouldn't like that at all.

[kanatapaw]

thats zoo was terrible, i meen they live in cold enviroments, and shes in a fild in the warmth on the grass, its not right , i hope shes still ok

[mrssyringa]

Which zoo was she in? Where is she now?

[darkmarkfourfour]

Memories of Chester Zoo always haunted me

Polar Bear that just swam back and forth bangin its head against the glass ive felt like that Polar Bear many a time and this put a smile on my face.

Thanks

[Ollievarium]

I didn't even know we had a zoo in Glasgow=s There's one in Edinburgh though.

[Vi3tGrl2]

Most zoo animals are depressed

[MishalMooreLover]

[aviron3]

[TheMIssingSock]

[briczar22]

how is she kept in? looked like double chain link with hot wire? glad to see her mood pick up.

[thebluebunny1]

that bear needs to be in his own natural inviroment where theres snow and sea water

[unnamednewbie13]
