A Swiss zoo has been criticised for killing a healthy baby bear because it was being bullied by its dad.

The cub was one of a pair born to Masha and Misha - bears hand-reared and donated to Bern's Dahlholzi Zoo.

At just 11-weeks-old, dad Misha started becoming aggressive towards the cubs - and killed one in front of horrified visitors.

Just days later the zoo decided to 'put down' the other cub - named Baby Bear Four - to stop him from being further bullied and mistreated by his 'jealous' dad.

The move reportedly prompted criticism from Swiss Animal Protection who said the father should have been kept in a separate part of the family's enclosure.

In the wild males can turn against their cubs if they see them as competition.

A spokesman said: "It is not natural to keep the male bear with the offspring, and there was more than enough space to have him in a separate part of the cage."

The zoo said separating the dad would have led to "massive stress and permanent behavioural disorders with both bears" and taking the cub away from his mum and dad would have led to "lifelong individual housing, isolation and a lack of stimulus".

They said: "Putting cub 'Four' to sleep was a difficult decision, but unfortunately necessary."

Misha and Masha were donated to the zoo by Russian president Dmitry Medvedev in 2009.

Masha will be sterilised in the coming weeks to stop her from having more cubs.

I refuse to believe they couldn't have found another solution. It was tiny, it could have been hand reared until they found somewhere else for it.

Gonna whack you one! They know about conservation, perhaps in dealing with it day in and day out they loose a little emotion and sensitivity.

No counters just say it, your lastest one was so embarrassing mind, I really feel sorry for you, arguing it is justified to kill animals for your own selfish needs off of ones dying.
That deserves an award for stupidity, it was hilarious

Anyway, I find this story to be abhorrent!
I never knew zoos would do this sort of thing!! What about the principle of never putting a healthy animal down?
I don't believe, that they could not have found a far better solution.
I think this zoo should actually, be closed down.

Well the Danish zoo killed a healthy giraffe in front of schoolkids, dissected it and fed it to the lions. Then another one put down two healthy lion cubs. Its getting to be a habit.

Doesn't appear to be, they say it's for conservation. In the case of the Danish zoo, another zoo had said they would take the giraffe. Makes me furious.

Animals in zoos are already at a horrid disadvantage, let's face it, they are taken away from their natural home (and yes, I do visit them I'm ashamed to say as I want my children to see animals close up), and the least we can do is make sure they are treated right.

I'm very surprised really as I always assumed that zoos did the very best by their animals.

They say they have their reasons. I say find better ones to keep them alive.

Maybe the way some zoos deal with 'conserving' animals should be looked at very carefully.

I honestly can't believe there are no other solutions available in these situations.  Zoo's are about protecting animals.  These stories are becoming all too frequent Healthy bear cub killed by Swiss zoo - because it was being BULLIED by its DAD Smile191

I agree. We take these poor animals out of their natural habitat then treat them so poorly.
