DEMAND JUSTICE FOR TORTURED POLAR BEAR

Source:

January 8, 2016


A polar bear suffered greatly after consuming explosives on a construction site in Russia.
A video was posted on YouTube showing the bear writhing in agony and spitting up blood.

Though not yet proven, it's believed that a worker on the site deliberately fed the bear the explosives and recorded the result.

Demand that Russia find and prosecute the person responsible for the sadistic torture of an innocent animal.

Blood poured from the polar bear's snout after she ingested explosives allegedly laid out for her by an on-site worker.

The widely distributed video shows the bear rolling around in the snow in complete agony.

Authorities believe the on-site cook is responsible for this reprehensible action, though nothing has been proven.

The bear had become a regular visitor to the construction site in Wrengel Island, Russia.

The construction workers often left food out for her.
Eventually, the bear began trusting the workers enough to bring her cub along.on her regular visits.
Fortunately, the cub did not accompany her on this day.

No animal should ever be tortured for any reason.
However, the idea that this was done for amusement is especially horrific.

Polar bears are a protected species in Russia, and it is illegal to cause deliberate harm to them.

The person responsible for the sadistic torture of this animal should receive the maximum penalty by law.

Sign the petition to demand a thorough investigation into this incident and the harshest punishment for the person responsible.
