The end of the agony for the last 3 dancing bears in Bulgaria, thanks to the Fondation Brigitte Bardot and the Vier Pfoten Association
We were in numerous company on the early morning of June 15 to welcome Misho (8 years), Svetla (17 years), and Mima (8 years) into the arms of their new guardian in Rasgard, a small locality in the northwest of Bulgaria, 7 hours from Sofia.
These three poor creatures, who had been fed bread, corn and Schnaps were in a lamentable state of malnutrition, especially Misha was suffering from diabetes (we were all surprised !) and whose fur was in terrible condition.
Now we must wait for the complete veterinary exam to discover the other aftereffects (in this case skin infections, etc.) not detectables in the first glance.
Imagine the joy of being present at this liberation, for these bears had as yet never known the natural environment that they were about to discover. Since infancy, the only lives they had ever known were marked by cruelty and oppression at the hands of their human "masters" who touted as entertainment the suffering of innocent creatures.
