China opens polar bear hotel: polar bears stuck in a stuck in small area to entertainment guests
Animal rights activists have slammed a Chinese hotel that created hotel rooms around an area with harsh lights and concrete floors where polar bears are kept.
The hotel wants to give guests the ‘pleasure’ of non-stop watching polar bears suffering through their hotel room window.
At Harbin Polarland, the windows of the hotel rooms face onto the polar bears’ pen; visitors are told the animals are their “neighbours 24 hours a day”.
Animal rights organizations reacted with outrage, urging customers to stay away from Harbin Polar Land that profits “from animals’ misery”.
“Polar bears belong in the Arctic, not in zoos or glass boxes in aquariums and certainly not in hotels,” Jason Barker, PETA Asia’s vice president, said.
In the wild, polar bears usually roam territories that can span thousands of miles, he added.
