Zoo officials in Eureka, California, could not afford to house two healthy adult bears while a new bear grotto was being built, and the only zoo that would take the bears was in South Dakota. Because the zoo couldnt afford the $500 to transport them, officials decided to destroy them. As their 3-month-old cubs looked on, the bears were given lethal shot of sodium phenobarbital. Was the bears destruction a moral issue? Why or why not? Identify any intrinsic or instrumental values in this case.
