PETA’s Worldwide Campaign Ends in Victory!

The polar bears who had been languishing in filthy cages in the sweltering heat of Puerto Rico with the Suarez Bros. Circus are now thriving in their new homes. The bears were seized on November 19 and flown to zoos in the U.S. following an 18-month PETA campaign that rallied support from polar bear experts, the U.S. Congress, government officials in Germany and Canada, activists worldwide, and celebrities like Ewan McGregor, Sarah McLachlan, Martin Sheen, and Telemundo host María Celeste Arrarás. Some of the bears have been released from quarantine, and PETA was on hand to document their first swim.
