A Bear Update from the Economists Cities Guide October 2005 (Zurich)
Bearly missed
Zurich has finally said goodbye—or perhaps good riddance—to the 630 giant, painted, plastic teddy bears that occupied the city’s streets throughout the summer. Dreamed up by Zurich’s City Association, the project saw local firms commissioning artists to decorate the bears in an effort to “captivate the hearts of everyone who sees them.”
So much for good intentions. By the end of “Teddy Summer Zurich 2005”, 300 teddies had been damaged, 50 seriously vandalised and 25 totally destroyed, thrown in the river or stolen. A handful more were kidnapped and taken to Lucerne, Basel and Bern in a bizarre political protest against Sunday shopping. And two never even made it onto the streets, having been censored for offending public decency and the Chinese government respectively. The bears did have some fans, however: at an auction in October, 159 of the plucky survivors were sold off for a total of SFr345,000, with almost SFr100,000 going to charity.

Further reports of animal vandalism:I used to live in Chicago when they had "Cows on Parade", an idea that came from (where else?) . . .Zurich!
