Baby Inuka leaving Singapore
The mama is already very old and will passed away anytime. Imagine how Inuka will feel. Then, imagine your own family member in SG has passed away, you are alone and now you have to go somewhere at the other side of the world alone and survive there. Can you also imagine, you being send off to a foreign country without knowing exactly why (cos no one talks polar bear language to explain it to him), you are alone there, you have to adapt to a new environment (which can be so difficult at times). It's such a painful thing...
Why cant we have different kind of Zoo here? We are trying to attract more tourist right, promote tourism industry here, so well, we can have one "tropical rainforest Zoo" as well as a "temperate climate Zoo" or a whatever Zoo... This way, can promote tourism as well as bring in more animal diversity into the country? Well, hope we can have more resources to be able to build such facilities...
But just yesterday I was chatting with a friend. He mentioned some points which I did not realise. Firstly, there is actually organization which reprimanded Singapore for bringing in these animals which do not suit our environment and causing distress to these animals. He also mentioned that the temperature at singapore zoo for the polar bears is at the lowest air-con temperature only (16 degree celsius). This has caused the polar bears in Singapore zoo to have lesser fur than normal because its not cold enough for them and according to my friend, the polar bears are said to have "shed furs". Dont know how true is that...
So letting him move to a place where he is supposed to be is probably a good thing after all? Still, say for a human who is suited to live in a tropical country (maybe a mother gave birth to a child in north pole) is borned in the north pole or south pole or artic region area. That person been living there for 16 years. Then he is told to move back Singapore, "where he belongs". For these 16 years, due to the climate, this person grown very furry, hairy (ok sounds strange). Moving this person back to Singapore might cause him some problems in adapting with the environment even if this is the place he is supposed to be...
Anyway, I guess we can only give our best wishes to Inuka good luck. Hope he lives happily in a place where he belongs...
