HOW ABOUT SOME ZOOS?

I’m sure that by now, all of you have read or heard about the three people who were attacked by a grizzly bear while camping in Yellowstone Park. Unfortunately, one of those campers was killed. The rogue bear was accompanied by her three cubs during the attacks.
 
Now I agree that the mother bear is going to have to be put down. And I understand that the three clubs cannot be allowed to roam free in the park anymore because they have now learned to hunt humans from their mother. But do the three cubs have to be put down like the mother bear?
 
Isn’t there a better alternative for the cubs? Surely there must be some zoos in the U.S. or in Europe that would want to put one or more of the cubs on exhibit. I know that grizzly bears cubs grow up to be large and dangerous, but so do lion and tiger cubs and there are plenty of them and other dangerous animals on exhibit in zoos.

Grizzilies and wolves were nearly wiped out in North America by our ancestors. They were nearly wiped out for a reason. They kill people and livestock.

Tree hugging ALFie nutbag animal rights activist nutbags have spent millions of dollars to propagate and reintroduce both species into our wildlands and they once more roam free.

Sure the little ones look cute and they evidently tug at your heartstrings.

But then they grow up.....
