Bhoori's first steps of freedom

Friday 10 June 2011

Some news we just couldn't wait to share with you...

Remember Bhoori? It was just three months ago that together with our partners, the BRC, we were able to rescue her from the cruelty of bear baiting - the ring which pierced her nose proof of the years of suffering she endured.

But now, thanks to your support of Bricks for Bears, we're pleased to report that Bhoori is settling in very well in her new home at Balkasar Sanctuary. After spending time recovering and receiving expert care in quarantine, Bhoori is finally learning to become a bear again in the open spaces of the Sanctuary. We've been told she was a bit shy at first, but now she is really enjoying the pools, and the lush green herbs and grasses.

Thank you for helping us to make this possible. With your continued support, this is the kind of life we hope to provide for the around 70 bears still trapped in the cruelty of bear baiting.

We just had to share this amazing first update with you, but more news about Bhoori and the other bears is coming, so make sure you keep an eye out on our Facebook page.
