In northeastern China, a hotel built around a central polar bear enclosure - designed for the non-stop viewing pleasure of guests - has been condemned by conservationists. Harbin Polar Land offers hotel bedrooms with a view across the polar bears’ pen, with the experience being marketed as having the bears as neighbours for 24 hours a day .
Animal rights organisations reacted with outrage, urging customers to stay away from establishments profiting from animals misery . The enclosure features harsh warm lights, and a space consisting of fake rocks, icicles and a white painted floor. Polar bears belong in the Arctic, not in zoos or glass boxes in aquariums – and certainly not in hotels, said PETA Asia s Vice President Jason Baker.
