When is Bob Barker demanding San Francisco Zoo to move their polar bears to a more northerly zoo?
Since he believes it was cruel to keep elephants at the Toronto zoo and successfully lobbied to have them moved to a sanctuary I just wondered when he was going to see if the polar bears at the San Francisco zoo should be relocated to a zoo or sanctuary to a climate more suitable to their natural environment.I also wonder if he will accept responsibility if any of these animals die or are stressed by the move ( in small crates and chained for extended periods of time so they don't shift) to a new environment. I just wonder what steps he is taking to ensure these animals will be able to adapt to their new environment .
It is the Bob Barker from The Price is Right. I was being a little sarcastic when I asked this question because I just finished watching a video clip on the 3 elephants at the Toronto Zoo were being moved to a sanctuary in the States.The video showed how these large animals are going to be transported in crates Zoo workers stated that the animals were trying to get use to the crates which were quite small..I hope they survive the stress of the journey.There is no guarantee that these animals will successfully adapt.I just wondered that since America has zoos filled with animals that also do not live in their natural habitat why he didn't clean house their first..We know zoos aren't perfect and in a perfect world they could roam free from the threat of poachers and other man made perils.

I don't think any captive conditions are suitable for polar bears. They walk great distances in their natural habitat and you just can't replicate that in a zoo, no matter what the climate it's in.

San Francisco has a mild summer climate. The summer temperatures are more like spring temperatures. You can find hotter temperatures in more northerly cities like New York and Chicago during summer than in San Francisco. In fact, summers are hotter in Yosemite than in San Francisco. Therefore, unless you move the bears to Alaska, it is not going to make much of a difference.

Is this Bob Barker from "The Price is Right", or the Bob Barker whose name is on jailhouse toothbrushes and toothpaste. Or are they one and the same!?! Perhaps he likes creatures to be confined in compartments. The trick is to find out how he capitalizes upon the movement/confinement of those animals.
