Bears finally released. After a life time inside small, cramped and basic cells, the four male Asiatic black bears, also known as moon bears, were finally given their first taste of freedom. Thanks to extremely generous donors from Singapore, work began on our outdoor bear enclosure back in March of this year. After 3 months of hard work from our staff and international volunteers, the upgrade was finally complete and the bears were released into the outdoors. For some of them it was the first time they had felt grass beneath their paws instead of concrete. The sense of pride, joy, relief and achievement was palpable around the enclosure as the first bear slowly made his way out. After days of waiting patiently for each bear to tentatively make his way outside, the sight which greeted us on the 5th day filled our hearts with a happiness which can only come through a realisation that you have worked tirelessly to do the right thing. For these bears, it is the start of a new life without metal cages. For us it is just the next step taken to help countless animals in need. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making this happen. We simply couldnt have done it without you.
