Animal rights activists have launched an email campaign and are planning a live demonstration against the use of bear cubs at this yearâs Baby Animal Days event put on by the American West Heritage Center.
The cubs, raised and handled by workers at Yellowstone Bear World in Rexburg, Idaho, have been featured at Baby Animal Days in the past, but this year the exhibit drew the attention of the international animal-rights organization PETA, which posted an âaction alertâ on its website inviting members and visitors to send objection letters to the Heritage Center and the event sponsor, Young Automotive Group.
