The Chinese sun bear is real. So is the grim reality that made the viral moment possible.
The lack of public trust is also a result of other ethically questionable conducts perpetrated by the zoo industry. Not too long ago, live feeding was a “popular” program practiced by many zoos. Live goats, ducks, chicken, rabbits and even cattle were thrown to the pack of hungry lions or tigers to be torn apart alive. The practice terrorized not only the prey, but also visitors, particularly young children..
Finally, there are the hugely controversial animal performances, such as tiger shows. Forcing animals to act unnaturally sends wrong messages to visitors, many of whom are young children. These shows have little education or conservation values. They normalize acts of coercion, foster indifference and validate injustice to animal victims.
