My fellow ABers,
Arturo is a polar bear native to the Arctic circle -- but he is currently living in a concrete enclosure in Argentina's Mendoza Zoo where temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Even worse, Arturo has been alone since the death of his companion Pelusa two years ago. He has displayed many signs of "abnormal behaviour," baring his teeth while pacing and rocking from side to side.
I just signed a Care2 petition demanding that the Mendoza Zoo released Arturo to be transferred to Canada's International Polar Bear Conservation Centre. Will you sign too? Here's a link to the petition:

Thanks for your help.
