#bear sanctuary

What an extraordinary friendship! 👇

This gentleman and his wife are the compassionate caretakers of a bear sanctuary in New York. Every bear in their sanctuary was nurtured from the time they were cubs and, as a result, they aren't adapted for life in the wild.

If my understanding serves me right, this man is probably the bears dearest companion. 🤔

My school has given me a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to Romania and work in the largest … Isobel Smith needs your support for Help

So I've got a trip planned to go to Romania to volunteer at a bear sanctuary as a massive experience thing with my school, but it's fucking expensive and there is no way that I can raise £2000 by myself, but it's something I really want to do and so if anyone has anything spare that would be massively helpful, please don't feel pressured to, it's not an emergency it's literally just something I want to do but can't without additional help/support.

Excerpt from this story from Treehugger:

After getting too friendly with people in a southern California community, a mother bear and her older cub have been relocated to a 1,400-acre animal sanctuary in Texas. Jackie, 6 1/2, and her 1 1/2-year-old cub Russell are now climbing trees, splashing in pools, and exploring their new forever home.

The black bears were wandering around neighborhoods in Sierra Madre near Los Angeles, threatening their own safety and that of the people who lived there. At one point, the mama bear scratched a man when his dog went after the bear and he tried to protect his pet.

. Because the bear was protecting her cub, wildlife officials determined she wasn’t acting aggressively and the pair should be released back into the wild.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) relocated them 70 miles away to the outside edge of their territory. When the bears returned, the CDFW tried two more relocations but both were unsuccessful.

The pair was rescued by the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center (now the Ramona Wildlife Center from the San Diego Humane Society). They’ve been relocated to the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Murchison, Texas.

“They are doing really well and thriving!” Noelle Almrud, senior director of the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch, tells Treehugger. “At Black Beauty they get to be bears like they deserve. They are relaxed, climbing, swimming, splashing, and doing what they should be doing as wild bears. Russell stays close to his mama, taking her lead, as a cub should.”
