Honey, a 27-year-old black bear at Holtsville Ecology Center, was euthanized after years of alleged neglect and inadequate medical care, revealing severe chronic health issues.
Humane Long Island criticized the center for not addressing Honey's chronic health problems, which included broken teeth and urinary tract infections, leading to her tragic death.
Former employees recounted that staff would actively harass Honey to get her to move by yelling and spraying her with water, indicating neglectful treatment.
Expert observations noted that Honey's repetitive swaying behavior was a sign of psychological distress, highlighting the poor conditions in which she was kept.
