People just wanna feel cute feelings about the cubs and not feels bad or conflicted about it so everyone who dares to critizise the actual benefit of human made zoos gets downvoted.

"Havent you read the Zoo brochures?? Havent you seen their funded propaganda where they tell you they are really really good guys? Zoos are totally necessary you know and they are actually good" /s

"Scientists believe that most polar bears limit travel to home ranges of a few hundred km. However, they know of one satellite-tracked female that trekked 4,796 km —from Alaska's Prudhoe Bay to Greenland to Canada's Ellesmere Island and back to Greenland again!"

Thank god they have "a much bigger enclosure" now and the zoo is breeding more bears into captivity to attract visitor traffic and sell tickets, but god forbid someone says something.

Ah yes, breeding huge animals which normally live in sub zero climate into zoos where it's warm. most of the year to attract visitors and framing it as conservation. Good news good news I bet they gonna love their little confined spaces for the rest of their lives.
