The caption on this pic over at Yahoo! is very, very sad:

“A four-month-old polar bear cub peeks out of a shed in an enclosure in a zoo in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk June 6, 2006. The weak and hungry orphaned cub was delivered in May from a scientific polar station on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean to Krasnoyarsk zoo to recover, as it lags behind in its development by about one month.

So yea, it would be better for him to be with his mother out in the wild, but she died, so someone rescued him and took him to the zoo to be fed and cared for.

Thats curel he’s stuck

That is honestly the cutestestestest bear I’ve ever seen.

Sad. I wish there were no zoos, and governments were forced to protect these animals’ environments to preserve them.

too bad someone’s missing the point of zoos.

That is a cute bear. Too bad it’s in captivity and not the wild.

Can it, SVO, this picture is way more cuter than the baby hurting the kitten picture. I like pics with only cute wittle animals in them, if you want to look at baby pictures, go to SEARS!

Whew! I saw that this post was up to 108 posts and I was afraid another commentroversy had sprung up. But I couldn’t figure out what the heck people could find objectionable in the pic, so I hesitated to click.

And if you’re chopped liver, Dustbunny, you’d better stay away from that bear. He looks a little peckish…

Grrrr. I sent the same photo in but does Meg mention *my* name?? Nooooo! Hmmpphh. What am I, chopped liver??
