It's so nice to hear your concern for those polar bears (as well as the European brown bear incident) and your love for all animals. I absolutely adore hearing about it. Personally I've learned to love zoos that operate in an ethical way with the intention to educate people and protect animals. Many zoos have a core purpose of animal and natural conservation efforts (at least that is how it is here in Sweden) and the ethical dilemma of which animals should be kept in captivity and to what extent can we justify it is something extremely interesting. Anyway, great video! Loved the build!
Thank you, to be honest the zoo in Warsaw is the only one in which I stumbled upon that phenomenon, I have no idea how is it legal that they can keep these animals in such awful conditions. Some of the habitats are fine and the animals looked relaxed and healthy but year the polar bear habitat is unbelievable... I think it has to do with the history of the zoo itself, it was like a refuge area for Jews during WW2 and the owners risked their own lifes hiding many families and individuals inside throughout the whole zoo so I think due to historical value of the establishment itself they're might be kept to different standards or something, I have no idea, and to be honest whatever they were able to provide to troubled people in the past doesn't make up for not meeting the requirements of keeping certain animals, but thankfully there are some organizations trying to do something with that so hopefully in near future there will be some changes. And not to downplay the level of polish zoos the other ones I've been to are really good, and just like yours in Sweden are focused on conservation or rehabilitation of animals that can't live in the wild. Thank you for commenting!
Crazy bear story! Thanks for sharing. That does look like a real habitat you would see in a zoo. Good job. See you next time.
Thank you!
Nice build! 🐻 Looking forward the next one!
Thank you! The next one is quite exciting, at least I hope so 😅
