Mark and Dawn Dumas do have a 600-pound polar bear in their backyard, and that’s not all. Their company, Beyond Just Bears, has a menagerie of trained cats, dogs, squirrels, hedgehogs, raccoons, opossums, cougars, wolves, deer, birds, and, of course, bears. Algee, Mark’s swimming partner in the video, is the only trained polar bear in North America.
Although Algee seems to live in a fun and loving home, do you think she should be there? The World Wildlife Federation reports that there are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears still left in the wild. Global warming has taken a toll on both their numbers and behaviors. Given the grave condition of the species, should we be playing with polar bears and putting them in movies?
