Greenhouse gas emissions created by the farming of wild animals exacerbate the climate crisis, according to a report

UK and EU governments should ban zoos from keeping polar bears because their enclosures are stressful and caring for them contributes to global warming, according to a report by conservationists.

Wildlife charity Born Free is calling on politicians to phase out the importation, keeping and breeding of animals that "survive and thrive in some of the world's coldest and most extreme climates in the northern Arctic".
