Drastic Change in the Wildlife Park - "We Tried Hard to Find Other Solutions..."
Wildlife Park Fürth: Enclosure for brown bears to be closed
After keeping brown bears in the wildlife park for more than 40 years, the enclosure is now to be closed. As the city of Fürth announced, the decision was not easy. The bears are to be relocated to a species-appropriate facility.
Animal welfare has top priority
The decision is based on animal welfare aspects. The brown bear enclosure no longer meets the species-appropriate requirements. "We have tried hard over the years to find other solutions. But in the end, we had to face the fact that we can no longer keep the bears here in a way that is appropriate to their species," says the mayor.
The bears are to be relocated to the Wildpark Poing, which specializes in keeping bears. The park has a large enclosure with a natural landscape and a pool. The bears will have significantly more space and retreat options there than in Fürth.
Relocation in the coming weeks
The relocation is planned for the coming weeks. The bears are to be transported in special transport boxes. The animal keepers will accompany the animals on the journey.
The closure of the brown bear enclosure is a drastic change for the wildlife park. However, the city emphasizes that the decision was made for the well-being of the animals. "We are convinced that the bears will have a much better life in the new facility," says the mayor.
Conclusion
The decision to close the brown bear enclosure in Fürth Wildlife Park was not easy. However, the city emphasizes that the decision was made for the well-being of the animals. The bears are to be relocated to a species-appropriate facility where they will have significantly more space and retreat options.
