Her Name Is Pizza And She Is The Saddest Polar Bear In The World
By Dreamer
She is just a baby and wants to get to a "safe" place, away from all these people and the commotion on the other side of the glass.
#1
She is 3 years old and her name is Pizza and she now lives inside the Grandview Aquarium mall in the city of Guangzhou. Her face no doubt stained by her tears. It hasn't even been a year and he is totally and completely miserable!
#2
The Mall charges £25 to look at and take pictures/selfies with Pizza. There is no escape from the hundreds of people stopping to look at him, kids tapping on the glass, the noise, and the snapping of pictures, which I am sure the flashes are maddening! There is just no getting away from it.

This is his full enclosure. It is very small and there is nothing "natural" in there except for the water. With the exhibit being so small it creates an unhealthy living condition for Pizza. They need large spaces in order to maintain physical and mental health. It is poorly lit with unnatural blue light. All alone, nothing and no one to play with, no where to run. How depressing.
#4
Experts who have observed Pizza's behaviors say that she is mentally declining. She paces back and forth thrashing her head repetitively, which is a sign that even at such a young age she could be going insane, she sleeps, and appears listless and very sad.
Another Polar Bear who held the title of the "Worlds saddest Polar Bear" until he died recently, exhibited the same behavior. He was 31 years old and was housed at a zoo in Argentina. Activists were diligently trying to get Arturo freed but he died during their efforts.
Pizza is only 3 years old and to think that she could live her life for possibly 30 more years in the conditions she is now in is just heartbreaking!

When not repetitively thrashing her head about, she can most often be seen by these doors, hitting with her paw or her head, an obvious sign of distress. She is just a baby and wants to get to a "safe" place, away from all these people and the commotion on the other side of the glass.

In an attempt to defend their actions Grandview said that Pizza's enclosure is compliant with regulations at 40 square meters.
Grandview also houses other animals, six young beluga whales, two arctic wolves, five walruses and one other bear, with the same bare essentials conditions and they appear to be just as miserable.
The country already has 40 more places that have animal on display and plan to open up 14 more ocean parks in the next 2 years.

A couple of months ago, the Yorkshire Wildlife Park offered to take Pizza, under one condition, that Grandview no get another Polar Bear or any other animal. Unfortunately the offer was declined.
While it would be too dangerous to release Pizza into the wild, she could be put some where else like the Yorkshire Wildlife Park which has a beautiful set up for Polar Bears or some sanctuary where she could happily live out the rest of her life under natural sunlight and natural surroundings and breathing fresh air and other Polar Bears to play with! There is no need other than greed for animals to live in captivity. Could you imagine living out your entire life in utter and complete sadness? She committed no crime, she should not be held captive. The thought is maddening! There is a link below if you wish to help advocate to free her.
In this picture she has her paws together as if in prayer saying Please God get me out of here!

There is also another sad video of Pizza on their petition page.
