The bear should live!
I read this too........Polar Bears are a declining species but this bear will not be able to help increase numbers as the bear will not be able to intergrate with other bears. That being said, the bear is here, he survived and which breed to you stop at when it come to hand-rearing - it's unnatural in all breeds.
Possibly it would have been kinder to let nature take it's course when the mother rejected but it's too late now and no healthy animal should be put down because it doesn't 'fit'.
