Two rescued 18-month-old grizzly bears from the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana
arrived safely at the Reid Park Zoo Thursday.

The brother and sister bears were deemed a safety hazard in a residential area after they
learned from their mother to raid for food, said Vivian VanPeenen, a zoo spokeswoman.

The bears were raiding chicken coops, stealing improperly stored food and garbage, and
breaking into buildings for livestock feed, VanPeenen said.

They were moved once but returned to the same location before they were rescued, she said.

1. Animal Cruelty

The bears are going to just love the cool temperatures in the frigid state of Arizona that is so much like the environment that their bodies were created to live in. Just think of how cool they will be underneath their thick and heavy fur coats while trapped in cages beneath the torrid sun. NOT

There are a lot of seniors who have retired in Arizona in order to prepare their bodies for the after life. At least it was their choice to make.
