I don't know if this has been posted already, but it saddened me dreadfully when this was on the radio news

This story made me very sad, I have signed the petition. I hope this can change his life for the better.

Great minds think alike or is it the fools .... saw an article in the paper earlier about this poor bear. Granted I have never seen a happy Polar Bear but this guy's body language is depressing.

I understand that one of the main reasons that his current keepers don't want to move him is his age and the stress of the journey. I think that these are both valid points. He may die during the journey, but he may also reach Canada and live out the rest of his life being happy (but still 'looking' miserable).

Boxtops - did you share this on FB too?

Signed.

I don't think they are valid points at all wolf, just excuses to keep their money making machine. He needs to be moved and soon. Poor creature, and he's also missing his lost mate - awful.
