Worlds saddest polar bear showing signs on mental decline

Worlds saddest polar bear showing signs on mental decline

Pizza, dubbed the worlds saddest polar bear is showing signs of worsening mental state, according to animal rights group Humane Society International. The polar bear lives in a aquarium at Grandview Malls animal exhibit and has started swaying his head and pacing repetitively. The organisations says this is signs of frustration and mental health decline. The Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster, England, has offered a 10 acre home for Pizza on the condition that the Grandview Mall not replace the bear with “another polar bear or any similar-sized animal.” The HSI said the Chinese authorities have turned down the offer.

26 sailors kept hostage by Somali pirates released after nearly five years

After nearly five years 26 sailors taken hostage by Somali pirates south of Seychelles have been released. Their period of captivity is one of the longest among hostages seized by pirates in the anarchic Horn of Africa nation. The sailors were held in Dabagala near the town of Harardheere some 400 km (250 miles) northeast of the capital Mogadishu. Harardheere became known as Somalias main pirate base at the height of the crisis. 29 crew members were about the ship but the captain died during the hijacking and two later died of illness in captivity.
