Newton woman works to relocate two Newton bears
A Newton resident, Sue Kelly, has pressed city officials and the Humane Society to improve or relocate the two bears housed in Athletic Park. After long attempts to move them, she rallied 523 signatures for Community Development funds to aid cage improvements or relocation, and she connected with Jim Fowler of eco zoos to place the bears in a natural habitat zoo in the south. The city manager expects a decision within weeks and aims to find a new home within two months while noting the toll of extensive phone calls on her budget.
