For real, this is sad news. Two polar bears born in prison with a life sentence.

If you haven't been paying attention, their habitat is disappearing pretty damn fast. Captivity may be the only way to keep them from going extinct if we continue on at this pace.

Still extinct in the wild. They will not be able to get reintroduced as well.

But at least we can look at them in a 40m² enclosure not even displaying the behaviour they do in the wild.

This, exactly.

We cruely destroy their natural habitat and cage them in our zoos where they can fry under the sun in the summer. If this is preservation then be better let them die peacefully.
