Polar Bears displays sign stereotypic behaviour in Brazilian 'Seaworld’

The couple polar bears, Aurora and Peregrino, were moved from the Russia at the Sao Paulo Aquarium in Sao Paulo state, Brazil in December 2014.

The animals were secretly transferred South American, and for four months they were hidden from the public, until the press was invited to the their public debut in, 14 April 2015.

Then the aquarium besides having imitated ‘Seaworld Orlando’ with its facilities that mimic an airport for the trip to the wild arctic, and made a closed glass enclosure closed and to exibit polar bears, began to tell a story filled with lies.

The first lie was the pair lived together in a Kazan zoo, but according to specialists, the space available to them was insufficient to allow adequate development.

Aurora and Peregrino lived in a Udmurtia Zoo in the Russian city of Izhevs, and this detail was crucial and very important, because that way it was possible to find that these polar bears were born in captivity but free in the wild.

Aurora, a female polar bear, was removed from nature in May 2010, for four months of life together with her sister Victória, after her mother was killed by hunters. They were taken to the zoo Roev Ruckey in Krasnoyarsk, where they were breastfed.


Many newspapers around the world cite the news as The Telegraph. In 2011 The Telegraph share this picture for the orphan sister.

But instead of being reintroduced into the wildlife, they were separated the sisters, and Aurora was sent to the  Udmurtia zoo in Izhevsk city, to become the wife of the Peregrino Polar Bear.

In the Izhevsk zoo, Aurora and Peregrino  will celebrate their wedding on 2013 (Video), and lived comfortably for many years in a 17.700 ft³ pool until December 2014, being transported from Russia to Brazil.

A couple of polar bears was placed in wooden boxes, where they stayed for five ou six days without water or food. When they were boxed and shipped to “live” in closed indoors aquarium in the  Brazil, (this habitat not include an outdoor area), and the enclosure at São Paulo’s aquarium crammed full of their realistic mock-rock when this is what its corrupting influence leads to - which faces an unprecedented and without deadline water crisis in Brazil.
The widespread use of concrete flooring is therefore a serious welfare issue for the polar bears housed at brazilian captive facilities. The couple Polar Bears in an Indoor, Fluorescent-Lit Tank displays sign stereotypic behaviour can include:

  • pacing 
  • circling 
  • tongue-playing - licking the walls, bars or gates 
  • bar-biting 
  • neck twisting - unnatural twisting and rolling of the neck, often combined with pacing behaviour 
  • swaying - head and shoulders or even the whole body 
  • head bobbing and weaving - moving the head up and down

Stereotypic swimming
A constant swimming pattern between two or more points within a pool in which movements are repetitive. Swaying Side to side motion, sometimes causing the front legs to lift, causing a bouncing effect.

Neck turning When an animal throws its head back in a violent circular motion, sometimes during a change of direction during pacing/walking about the cage, but may occur from a stationary position as the animal resumes forward movement.

Like Aurora, dozens of other polar bear orphans were removed from the wildlife to be breastfed and have never been reintroduced to nature.

Protected and under the ownership of parks and zoos that aim only to breed cubsin order to attract more visitors, - while at the same time send the adolescents and adults polar bears to live in other establishments, which aim human entertainment more than the welfare of the species, polar bears get sick, they mutilate themselves and live repeating their movements in the dance of frustration.

Polar bears belong to the Ursidae family, which includes black and brown bears and pandas. For all other members of bears family, there are shrines, where bears are fed, treated and recovered to be reintroduced into the wildlife. For all, except the polar bear, which according to data from the Expert Group on polar bears - PBSG, there has been seen only 8,606 polar bears in the last 10 years.

So we ask the support of all people around the world in order to create the first sanctuary for polar bears; a location within a protected reserve in the tundra, their natural habitat where polar bears and their orphans can live and be fed at home, to return to live on average 40 years, as pointed out by the Russian Geographical Society.
ifaw-polarbears

As a statement of Kazan City Hall, the couple of polar bears Aurora and Pilgrim would stay in Brazil only for two years, for which we also ask to leave Brazil immediately, as these few months living on Brazilian landthey have already shown repetitive and stereotyped behaviors due to they are in a completely different environment than living in Russia, which was outdoors.

In Brazil, the polar bears are locked in an aquarium - a five-time smaller environment than living in Russia, and completely unnatural for their species.

The fact that the largest carnivore on Earthis currently starving due to poaching of more than two million seals, the main polar bears’ food; and the mortality due to diseases caused by pollution in the
Arctic polar circle, should be the main campaigns and projects’ theme that envision the climate change issue.

At the current circumstances, the polar bears will be extinct long before the ice of the Arctic melts.

 Creation of the first Polar Bear Sanctuary for Aurora and Pilgrim’s return to Russia
polar-bear

In the recent years, the polar bears have been the symbol of several campaigns about how the Arctic is being affected by climate changes. However, even with the threat of polar bears extinction, they continue to die;due to famine and poaching, and the forced imprisonment that is imposed to orphaned cubs, which are taken to zoos where they lose their ability to reproduce and their instincts.

Brazil activists free animals from lab horror - Resgate Animais do Instituto Royal–Beagles Coelhos e Ratos

Brazilian Animal rights activists raided a laboratory in São Paulo, Brazil rescued where animals are subjected to horrific drug testing abuses, for the pharmaceutical industry liberating some from certain death by torture.

Members of the Animal Liberation Front in Brasil camped out Royal Institute, in São Roque, 70 km (43 miles) west of São Paulo, Brasil to protest against illicit practices of animal vivisecting and experimenting. Activists accuse Royal Institute of mistreating animals for pharmaceutical purposes, under Brasil's laxed legislation on animal rights.

Brazil activists free animals from lab horror

Several activists had been protesting and denouncing claims from staff working at the Instituto that several dogs, Beagle breed, had been shaved, poked and amputated by alleged trained personnel to perform scientific experiments on behalf of pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies overseas.

Brazilians took to the internet, giving the hashtag #InstitutoRoyal nearly 90,000 mentions.

Took hundreds of Beagle dogs, rabbits and rats from the complex after claims that the lab was testing abuses on animals. Where animals were kept in terrible conditions and submitted to cruel and heinous tests and experiments. Six of the puppies had tumors or were mutilated,” and “the most surprising thing was a dog with no eyes”.

According to one activist I spoke with in Brazil, the protest began with about 40 people outside of Royal Institute because the lab had been accused of animal cruelty. The activists said they alerted police to the appalling conditions in which the animals at the Royal Institute were being kept captive, but they took no action.

After several days of wait the activists found out that the Instituto had made plans to move out the animals from the site. This prompted the activists to break into the facilities on the October 18 after they camped for several days outside the Instituto. As the crowd grew to about 150 people, they could hear the cries of the dogs. Some activists entered the building, opened the cages, and began rescuing them.

Activists broke into Royal Institute and released 178 beagles from certain death, with no opposition from the police on site. Now activists struggle to tell the truth against the mainstream media efforts to denigrate their actions and the usual political inertia and counter-information.

Nearly 178 beagle dogs were immediately taken to veterinary clinics in the area. They were found in filthy conditions. Some of them were mutilated and other had tumors. One dog had no eyes.
Since the rescue, Royal Institute has been shut down pending a government investigation. The lab says that even if police recapture stolen beagles, they will be put up for adoption.

These cases were documented by the activists with I-phones, cameras and eye witnesses. The dogs were eventually taken away by members and sympathizers of the Animal Liberation Front, including national tv celebrities, like Luisa Mell and Nicole Puzzi.

Photos and videos of the rescue operation, reporting that an anti-vivisection protest that began with a dozen or so demonstrators  prior to the raid on the lab. Most had their skins shaven and one was found frozen dead in liquid nitrogen.

Some of the activists returned to gather in front of the laboratory in November 13, to rescue rats for lab experiments and announced there would be further protests.

The dogs, rabbits and rats were used for testing pharmaceutical drugs and showed signs of abuse.



Activists intent on changing Brazil's law that allows animal use for scientific experimentation - regulated in accordance with international standards - found a sympathetic ear in Congressman Protegenes Queiroz, a member of the Communist Party of Brazil, who denounced the institute for "an atmosphere of torture that looked like a Nazi concentration camp." Queiroz set up a six-member congressional commission to study charges of animal abuse.

Silvia Ortiz, the institute's general manager, tried to reassure the public said, "Rats, mice, rabbits and dogs are used, notably the beagle breed ... given its genetic pattern and similarity with the human biology." Ortiz insisted the lab tests pharmaceuticals that help save human lives.

Brazilian media also reported lab officials insisted their testing and other activities are monitored by government health officials and comply with international norms.Officials from the lab called the raid and liberation "an act of terrorism."

The Animal Liberation Front in Brasil and their friends in Portugal are currently organizing a public protest against the Brazilian authorities and are organizing their support to camp outside every Brazilian Embassy in these two countries at least.

The AFL, Frente Antivivisseccionista do Brasil and other animal rights associations are struggling against time to promote the actions against every violation of animal rights in Brasil to push for more legislation at the Federal level, more accountability at the State levels and more awareness at the international level. The biggest concern right now is to make the international press aware of these efforts and communicate to the rest of the world the pain these animals are going through because of illegitimate and sometimes illegal practices by labs like Royal Institute.

This organized and successful initiative is currently being undermined in the mainstream press and some activists are struggling to keep the momentum going and spread the word about Royal Institute, their sponsors, their public subsidies, how they went unsupervised and still deny any excess violence against the animals that they use in scientific experiments.

The law in Brasil is very permissive about vivisectionist practices, and there are several recorded cases of abuse perpetrated to animals in captivity for scientific experiments in Brasil, sponsored by huge economic and international conglomerates that use these labs in Brasil to exploit animals outside the jurisdiction of their more accountable governments.

There are currently two petitions ongoing online (https://secure.avaaz.org/po/petition/MANIFESTATION_ROYAL_INSTITUTE/; and more information online at Frente Antivivisseccionista Brasil).
