The World's Only Polar Bear Prison!

Показать описание
When people commit crimes, they go to jail. But what happens when animals do?

Today, when people spot a bear, they call a hotline and someone comes out and tries to scare the bear away with firecrackers and rubber bullets. If that doesn’t work, the bear is tranquilized and taken to a holding facility; the world’s only polar bear jail.

The jail was built inside a former military aircraft hangar, and had 20 12x16 foot cells. The bears are kept locked inside these cells for the duration of their sentence, which can be anywhere from 2 to 30 days (or even longer for repeat offenders). When locked up they're fed only snow and water.

Since the jail was first built, bear-human conflicts dropped significantly, but now they’re on the rise. Climate change has made summers longer, delaying when ice forms over the Hudson Bay. Ice that the polar bears need to hunt.

It is a pretty ingenious idea (but no fun for the bears obviously)

kinda funny because the polar bear is just doing what is instinctive, it's the people who are intruding.
