Until the St Louis Zoo figures out why the polar bears died in rather quick succession, it would be inhumane to restock the exhibit. Plus, the bear exhibits themselves are antiquated and not the best environment for any if the bears. Finally, if you are not aware, polar bears have become endangered by global climate change. There just aren't that many to go around for zoo display.
