So far, 926,000 people have signed the campaign to move polar bear Arturo from Argentina to Canada.
Polar bear Arturo, 29, lives in the Mendoza Zoological Park in Argentina. Animal rights activists are reacting strongly to the polar bear being kept in a zoo where temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius. The water in the enclosure is also only 50 centimeters deep.
Arturo has been nicknamed “the saddest animal in the world.” A campaign launched by animal rights activists is trying to relocate Arturo from Argentina to the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Canada.

The campaign on Change.org has so far collected more than 926,000 signatures to move the polar bear. The goal is to reach one million signatures. The Canadian zoo would like to accept the polar bear, but the director of the Argentine zoo says Arturo is too old and sick to be moved. The Argentine authorities think the same thing.
