agree - difficult one as they are such big creatures who sort of belong in the wildbut safer in the zoo I suppose

I don't like to see any animal in captivity but if this is better than being in the state some of them are, free, well then I'll go with it

I’m not convinced that a zoo is the best place for them, even now

I think with polar bears, you can't recreate their environment in a zoo properly, unlike most of the other animals...that's one of the problems I have with polar bears in zoos 

Poor bear

I agree, their natural habitat  will never be able to be recreated but most zoos will always do the best they can for the animal. It's the ones that don't that need to be rooted out

True ...I guess it depends on whether they are born  there ...in which case they probably wouldn’t know much difference .

sorted Ros, they are on the get rid quick list  

I wonder why they are called hellbenders

yes agree  with this - its hard to create a tundra and the amount of ice /snow they are used to - and they are such huge animals as well making the environment even harder to create

but most of the animals live in near enough natural habitats in zoos, I will never be convinced with polar bears Pam

omg they are horrible

they swim miles and travel many miles, impossible to do in zoos and I wonder if they hibernate properly

So what about lions and tigers? Can their environment be recreated?  Given that they are natural hunters

Go Nina
