BEIJING — A polar bear named Pizza, whose fate as an air-conditioned exhibit for shoppers in a mall in southern China prompted millions of animal lovers to call for the release of what they called “the world’s saddest polar bear,’’ is moving — but only temporarily, his owners say.

The exhibition space at the Grandview Polar Sea World at the Grandview Mall in the steamy city of Guangzhou is being “optimized and upgraded,” causing the move, according to a notice on a social media account of the aquarium, where Pizza and hundreds of other arctic animals are housed indoors.

The US is often accused of being gaudy or tacky. China makes us look classy!

But seriously, release Pizza the Polar Bear into a more comfortable environment. Animal cruelty for the sake of human amusement makes me sick.

While I totally agree with your sentiment, it would also help if we weren't destroying the environment we'd be sending them back into.

I doubt that Pizza could survive in his natural habitat at this point, but that's due to him being raised in a shopping mall. I'd at least like to see him sent somewhere with fresh air and a more natural environment than a glass cube next to the Abercrombie and Hot Dog on a Stick.
