    Agee starred in her final film in 2023 - the Canadian science-fiction film 'Polaris', which features a fitting end - her character turns into Ursa Major at the end of the film, thus immortalizing the polar bear star as literal stars. After Mark was no longer able to care for her, she moved to the Assiniboine Zoo in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I hope she is doing well there and Mark can visit.

He can be off leash and stay by my side, listens to commands etc, only barks for me when he misses me or knows I'm around when he's in his kennel. Best bloody relationship with an animal I've ever had, and Jack has really helped me through my dad's passing and opened up my heart. People are becoming pretty nasty but animals, animals never change and their hearts will always be pure enough to let you in if you show them kindness and open your heart to them.

    I agree that the bear is getting some enrichment by being taken to different places with new sights and smells. That's important for an animal other than sitting in the same old enclosure everyday all day for the rest of its life.
    But, i don't agree that he profited by selling her into acting, not only risking everyone else's life but hers as well. If she bit someone when she was being "overprotective" it would've been lights out.

    The problem with raising a mammal from an infant is that they can imprint sexually on humans.

We reached 8 billion this year. If we are going to keep millions of meat-eating dogs as pets humans die it seems sensible to stop wasting all that human meat and start using it as animal feed.
      Probably not for animals that people eat as they will get upset about that but as pet feed.
