Allow traumatized bear to follow his instincts

We both feel that Boo should be left alone to enjoy his freedom.

If he is in the company of other bears, his natural instincts for sustaining himself in the wild will soon return.

He has had enough trauma in his life and deserves a better future than to become a tourist attraction.

As far as neutering goes, it would probably do as much good to neuter the person who suggested it.

Thank you to Stuart Hunter for his boo-tiful reporting.

While I am a female of the species, something tells me that all males, animal or humanoid, wince when they hear the n(euter) word.

Go, Boo, go! (Oh, yeah, I forgot he already has -- twice!)

Running bear

Boo the bear has now escaped twice from his nine-hectare enclosure.

What does this tell you?

The bear wants his freedom.

I am not in favour of animals being held in captivity.

I say let Boo remain in his natural habitat to sow his wild oats.

Run, Boo, run!
