...Industry, N. Y. last month two pet bears named Andy & Amos were shot to death because one of them had killed a child (TIME, Oct. 24). Last week Director Edmund Heller of Milwaukee's Washington Park Zoo was concerned about press reports of a bear-killing in his zoo. Experimenting with groups of animals in large open dens Director Heller had placed together a pair of black bears, a pair of grizzlies, a pair of polar bears and a pair of wolves. All were young.
