PETA's Robotic Bear Protests USDA To Close Roadside Zoos

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 07: Animal rights supporters, alongside "Bernard", PETA's seven-foot-tall robotic bear voiced by Oscar-winning actor Casey Affleck, call on the USDA to protect the more than 1,000 bears in concrete pits, roadside zoos, and circus-style shows across the country by making good on a promise that it made a year ago: to broaden protections for bears under the Animal Welfare Act in front of the USDA on March 7, 2017 in Washington, DC.
