"Second Killing Dooms Bears Three in Quebec Zoo Are Shot," Toronto Star. October 10, 1942. Page 1.
----
Quebec City, Oct. 10 - (BUP) - Three big polar bears in the provincial zoological gardens at nearby Charlesbourg today killed their second man in four years - a keeper, Jean Paul Bedard, 29.
The bears were shot and killed by other attendants who were called by Bedard's screams.
Although Bedard had been warned against entering the bears' cage. zoo officials said he went in to feed them.
He approached one of the recumbent bruins and attempted to stroke him. The bear lumbered to its feet and grabbed Bedard. The other two joined in the attack.
The bruins, named Marius, Cesare, and Fanny, were full-grown animals and had been at the provincial zoo for a half-dozen years. They were brought here as cubs, on a government ship which travelled north each year with supplies for remote, northern outposts.
Four years ago one of the bears grabbed the arm of Dr. Germain of Rimouski, Que., who was feeding it peanuts. It pulled Germain's arm. bent into the cage and mauled him so badly that the physician died.

But what of the animals we simply look at? After…

Walworth's Zoo
The forgotten #zoo of #London was situated in Walworth. It is said the animals' ghostly cries can still be heard
Albert Cops with his menagerie in the Tower of London was not the only entrepreneur to pander to the public’s desire to see exotic animals. Perhaps London’s strangest menagerie was to be found, bizarrely, on the rickety upper floor of Essex Exchange, on the northern side of the Strand. Founded in 1773 by the Pidcock family, initially as the winter quarters for the animals in their travelling…
