Please sign petition: Free Tundra the Polar Bear from Bronx Zoo | 15 July 2016 | On July 3, 2016, Arturo the polar bear died after more than twenty lonely years of misery and confinement in an Argentinian zoo. While the world was outraged at the conditions Arturo was kept in and many fought to move him to a more suitable environment, little was able to be done for him because of the zoo's blatant disregard for his welfare. In New York City's Bronx Zoo, Tundra the polar bear is also languishing alone in confinement…Polar bears live in the Arctic, where temperatures are a frigid -29 F and can reach as low as -92 F. Despite the unbelievably cold temperatures, polar bears can often overheat and will roll in the snow to cool off, as well as to keep their fur clean. There is nothing “normal” or “natural” about confining a polar bear to a concrete cell in New York.
