Perhaps city residents and wild animals were never meant to go together, even in zoos. Recently a visitor to a large city zoon, ignoring all fences and warning signs put his arm into the cage of a six-year-old polar bear. Perhaps the man wanted to feed the bear, or touch him, or even tease him. But the bear, basically the citizen of the wilds, almost instantly sprang forward and sank his teeth into the man's hand. As the man screamed for help, and the bear's keeper tried to get the bear under control, the bear sucked in more of the man's arm. Finally, a policeman had to shoot and kill the bear so that the man's arm could be released- which it was. Thus, there was the killing of a polar bear and the wounding of a city denizen, two animals who were meant to be residents of their own worlds, not each other's.

People can take many steps to reduce the stress produced by their hurried lifestyle. For example, physical exercise such as jogging, swimming, or playing tennis is an excellent method for relieving muscle tension and using nervous energy. Such exercise also strengthens the heart, improves blood circulation, and helps with eight control. Another way to reduce stress is by doing deep-breathing exercises a few times each day: slowly inhaling and exhaling helps the body relax as the mind rids itself of troublesome thoughts. People who use these methods often experience a feeling of well-being that improves the overall quality of their lives.
