'World's saddest polar bear' suffers for selfies inside a shopping center

Heartbreaking video of what has been dubbed the "world's saddest polar bear," housed at a Chinese mega-mall, has sparked international outrage.

The bear lives at the Grandview Aquarium within the Grandview shopping center in Guangzhou, China.

Animals Asia, a Hong Kong-based animal rights group, has drawn attention to the upsetting living conditions at the mall's zoo, calling it a "prison" for animals. The group's petition to close the Grandview Aquarium has already gained more than 311,000 signatures.
