He was born in the United States and transferred to Argentina in 1993. His companion, a female named Pelusa, died of cancer in 2012. The living conditions of the cage Arturo resided in were controversial, as temperatures reach up to 40 °C in Argentina, and the pool in Arturo's cage was only 20 inches deep. Animal rights activists[1] had, in response, dubbed Arturo the "world's saddest animal" and promoted a petition to have him moved to Assiniboine Park Zoo, a zoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[2] The petition was created by Laura Morales of Hamilton, Ontario.[3] It gained considerable attention after the hashtag #Freearturo began trending on Twitter. Supporters of the petition also noted that a polar bear died in Buenos Aires in December 2012 due to excessive heat, and argued that Arturo exhibited symptoms of depression and other mental health problems.[4] As of July 19, 2014, the petition had over 400,000 signatures, and had been endorsed by Newt Gingrich[5] and Cher.[6] Assiniboine Park Zoo responded that while they would've gladly accepted Arturo there, they did not have the authority to do so unless Argentina agreed to transfer him there, and that the Mendoza zoo could not supply the necessary medical records to make such a trip possible.[7] On July 24, 2014, the director of the Mendoza Zoo, Gustavo Pronotto, told the Associated Press that Arturo was too old to be moved to Canada.[8] In social media, people also advocated for Arturo to be moved to Canada.[9] and Twitter hashtag #FreeArturo.[10] Arturo died on July 3, 2016.[11] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://rt.com/news/174068-free-arturo-polar-bear/ | title=#FreeArturo: 470,000 sign petition to relocate depressed polar bear to Canada | work=Russia Today | date=19 July 2014 | accessdate=20 July 2014}} {{Animal-rights-stub}}2. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-28374086 | title=Petition to move 'sad' polar bear to Canada | work=BBC | date=18 July 2014 | accessdate=20 July 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/thousands-sign-petition-to-relocate-sad-polar-bear-arturo-to-canada-1.1923184 | title=Thousands sign petition to relocate 'sad' polar bear Arturo to Canada | work=CTV News | date=20 July 2014 | accessdate=21 July 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/19/freearturo-petition-to-move-worlds-saddest-polar-bear-to-canadian-zoo-reaches-almost-400000-signatures-4803684/ | title=#Freearturo petition to move ‘world’s saddest’ polar bear to Canadian zoo reaches almost 400,000 signatures | work=Metro | date=19 July 2014 | accessdate=20 July 2014 | author=Wheaton, Oliver}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/07/19/332775413/200-000-sign-petition-to-move-sad-bear-to-better-life-in-canada | title=400,000+ Sign Petition To Move 'Sad Bear' To Better Life In Canada | work=NPR | date=19 July 2014 | accessdate=20 July 2014 | author=Neuman, Scott}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/zoo-bosses-refuse-move-worlds-3910849 | title=Zoo bosses REFUSE to move 'world's saddest polar bear' despite 700,000 petition and Cher pressure | work=Daily Mirror | date=25 July 2014 | accessdate=6 August 2014 | author=Smith, Mark}} 7. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.winnipegsun.com/2014/07/18/arturos-fate-out-of-winnipeg-zoos-hands | title=Arturo’s fate out of Winnipeg zoo’s hands | work=Winnipeg Sun | date=18 July 2014 | accessdate=20 July 2014}}. 8. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/07/24/arturo-polar-bear-staying-mendoza-zoo/13085543/ | title=Zoo director: Arturo the polar bear too old to move to Canada | work=USA Today | date=24 July 2014 | accessdate=24 July 2014 | author=Lee, Jolie}} 9. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Free-Arturo-the-polar-bear/1446676755599653 | title=Free Arturo the polar bear Community | work=Facebook | date=19 July 2014 | accessdate=2 January 2015}} 10. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.facebook.com/SavePolarBearArthur | title=Save Polar Bear Arthur | date=18 July 2014 | work=#FreeArturo}}. 11. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-36711345 | title='Depressed' Argentina polar bear Arturo dies at 30 | work=BBC News | date=5 July 2016 | accessdate=5 July 2016}} 4 : 2016 animal deaths|Individual polar bears|2014 in Argentina|Individual animals in Argentina |
