As you may know from previous messages, at the beginning of January in the vicinity of Przemysl astray bear has been noticed. After examination of anesthesia and was released into the wild. Unfortunately this bear, probably in search of food was again spotted in the vicinity of human settlements in the district near the city of Chorzów in Jarosław district. The only solution was to re-anesthesia of the animal. Deliciously sleepy bear was transported back to our center. A Specialist Dr Smetana of the Polish Academy of Sciences notes with regret that the bear, unfortunately cannot cope on its own in the wild. Her behavior points to the domestication of man. This would confirm the hypothesis of a possible escape from captivity. Bear feels well and is going to stay with us for about 3 months. The bear eats daily over 15kg of food. She’s on a specially prepared diet consisting of; carrots, beets, apples, pears, corn, meat, fish and, of course, honey. After several days of observation and feeding the bear in the hospital, we will temporarily move to a specially prepared aviary. We are wondering on her further fate. Zoos refuse adoption of the bear because of too expensive cost of living. One idea is to stop the bear with us permanently, but that would involve the construction of a professional, long dodge which entails considerable costs. We made the effort and do our best in order to collect sufficient funds. The second option, in case we were unable to collect the appropriate sum of money, is putting the bear to one of the professional European Centers abroad. In any case we make necessary contacts associated with foreign centers. Unfortunately, such transport also involves substantial costs. You can help the bear. At this point, the priority is to ensure adequate quantities of food. For this purpose, we put up a special auction on Allegro (Polish auction site). Link below:

For all the support, both financial and in the form of food donations, we warmly thank you. We will inform you about the fate of our Bear.
