Panting Bears at the Mobile Zoo
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
In this footage, bears pant in the heat at the Mobile Zoo in Alabama. U.S. Department of Agriculture inspections reveal that the facility has failed to provide bears, who cannot sweat and require bathing water or shade to stay cool, with protection from sweltering temperatures. In 2013, the facility was cited after an inspector found that the bears' only source of bathing water was a single trough that could barely accommodate one bear. And in 2014, the facility was cited after an inspector found that temperatures inside the uninsulated "den" that the bears were provided with measured as high 150 degrees Fahrenheit. A bear found inside the den still had her winter coat and was in apparent distress, panting and salivating excessively.

Joe the Chimpanzee at the Mobile Zoo
Joe the Chimpanzee at the Mobile Zoo
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
Joe is a chimpanzee who is confined at the Mobile Zoo in Alabama to a tiny, virtually barren enclosure that is no larger than a dog run. Chimpanzees are highly social animals, yet Joe has been alone at this facility for years. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has repeatedly cited the facility for failing to provide Joe and other primates with adequate enrichment and safe, clean enclosures. In June 2014, the Mobile Zoo was cited for instructing people to pelt Joe with peanuts in order to feed him. And in 2013, the facility was cited for failing to provide Joe with a program of enrichment after a USDA inspector observed him jumping, banging on his cage, throwing dirt, and spitting.
