End Animal Cruelty at Japanese Bear Parks!
Target: Owners of Japanese Bear ParksSponsored by: World Society for the Protection of Animals
Right now, approximately 800 bears are suffering in Japanese bear parks.
In Japan's eight bear parks, bears are confined to crude concrete pits where they are forced to beg for, or fight over, scraps of food thrown by tourists. Left for years to suffer in the name of entertainment, it is hard to imagine a more bleak existence for these animals.
The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) has been urging authorities in Japan to clamp down on the parks for five years. One bear park has closed down and two others have confirmed that they have plans for alternative enclosures. We need to ensure that the parks follow through with their plans in order to improve the lives of these captive bears. We are asking the parks to construct forested enclosures to replicate the bears natural habitat, to prevent unsupervised public feeding and to stop degrading circus shows.
Japan's bears need your help. Sign this petition to the bear parks owners to respectfully ask that Japan end animal cruelty at its bear parks!

the evidence on how a country treats its animals is a reflection on the ignorance, and stupidity of the people

I'd like to point out, that the zoo's in the US, are for the most part, of no better quality. I do believe this needs to end though, obviously the bears aren't there for any educational purposes, just crude entertainment.
