Thank you so much you 189 fellow people around this beautiful world who signed on Kenda's behalf. Here is the message from the Ecotarium in response to my asking of her health and mentality being the sole bear there, and am quite pleased with it. Actually she has it much better than a lot of captive Polar bears, she does in fact have a beautiful pen, with a polar like swimming pool. Plus she's living longer than she would if in the wild. Peace To All, where ever you are in the world. We are all but one! Wayne, Thank you for your email. We appreciate your concern for Kenda, she is beloved by staff and visitors alike. We would like to give you every assurance that we are committed to her safety and happiness. She is conscientiously cared for by the Wildlife Manager, EcoTarium staff, and Tufts University Wildlife Clinic. In addition to basic care and feeding, she receives "enrichment" or training on a regular basis. Our wildlife staff works daily with Kenda to provide her with conditioning training to keep her stimulated and healthy. We teach her new behaviors such as presenting her paws for inspection, coming into the den when called, opening her mouth so that we can check her teeth, and touching her nose to a target pole. This training keeps Kenda engaged. She is also treated to new toys and special food treats and she especially enjoys all of her visitors. Kenda has called the Polar Bear Plaza home for twenty five years. Since Ursa Minor's death, we have consistently evaluated Kenda's wellbeing and she has showed no signs of loneliness. She has a good appetite, is playful, and does not show any signs of stress. Polar bears in the wild are typically solitary animals, but we continue to interact with her on a daily basis to ensure that she is not bored or lonely and that she is healthy and happy. We are committed to providing for Kenda's needs and want to assure you that her well-being is a high priority. Sincerely, Lizabeth Foxwell Marketing and Communications Manager EcoTarium
