Six Months Since Bear Mark's Rescue | The Last Restaurant Bear in Albania

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Six months ago, we rescued Mark, the last restaurant bear in Albania 🐻🎉
Since then, he's made great progress!
Settling in at our BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach was challenging for him, as Mark had lived in a tiny concrete pen for 20 years 💔
He knew neither the smell of trees 🌳 nor the coziness of straw, nor the sight of snow ❄️
The nature around him with all its smells and sounds was overwhelming. But we gave Mark the time 🕔 he needed.
After spending weeks in his den observing everything 👀 and resting 💤, Mark finally found the courage to leave his safe haven.
Since then, there's been no holding back!
Watch Mark's journey to freedom, and have your tissues ready! ❤️

    Thank you so much for this happy ending. In the early 1980s I was the photographer and editor of Animal Kingdom magazine representing Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo. With access to all parts of the zoo, I discovered a juvenile lion in the very dark basement of the Lion House, in a ten-foot cage where the concrete had been worn thin by his pacing, I felt physically sick. When I asked the celebrity zoo director, Dr. Fisher, why, he said it was a spare from the breeding program with other zoos. In the next basement storage room was the Galapagos tortoise, his winter accommodations a pen with rubble floor under a single dim bulb that came on only when a human came in, probably to toss in food. After that job, I vowed never again to visit another zoo. Am heartened by your dedication to find and change these kinds of situations.

Please donate anything you can because every dollar makes a difference and collectively we can all help 4 paws continue to literally change the lives of many many abused animals. I think we owe so much to our animal friends who have been treated so horribly by (some) humans. Thank heavens there are people like this foundation has who dedicated their time and life to helping those without a voice. Thank you 4 paws im so very grateful for all you do. ❤

    It is so sad that with most of the rescues the animal always seems to already spent most of their life the way they were found before the rescue. For those who rescue wild animals how come most of the time we see bears like this already spending 20 years of their lives living in these conditions before they are rescued? I only hope and pray they get a few good years of knowing what it’s like to live this way 🙏🏻
