AnirudhaBeer Bear
Four Paws highlighted the miserable conditions in which these bears were kept in. People who came to the restaurant would sit in front of the caged bears and ate their food while watching these bears who begged for the food with outstretched paws.
Once the restaurant owner decided to pay the vet to dart this beautiful bear so that people who visited his restaurant can capture Tomi who was in a tiny cage. They took videos, clicked selfies while he was unconscious and some who felt that they should give him something to eat provided him with sweets, cake, and crisps. If that was not enough for this poor bear, his owner who occasionally gave him a beer when he asked for water.
All thanks to Four Paws for saving Tomi who found that life isn’t that bad only some people are.
Where Are We Lacking?
It is true that we are causing great damage to the environment and this so-called advancement in science and way of our living is somehow affecting animals the most all over the world. What should be done? We need to work on both the effective protection and management of the population because saving them is not the only option but increasing their population should be also our priority. Countries should try having the latest access to the information about their current population so that they can chart out their future plans that can save the animals.
But looking at the information, which tells us that not enough is being done. Why is that? I have no idea.
Rescue Mission
When the story about the saddest bear in the world came out it caught several eyes and due to the of public outrage and pressure Albanian Environment Ministry took notice of the situation and decide to act with the help of Four Paws. After the rescue, Carsten Hertwig, a bear expert at the Four Paws told,”Tomi is in a very poor state. His teeth are badly damaged, and he has injuries to his upper body. It’s high time he was brought out of this horrible place.” But all the suffering are in the past now and our Tomi is ready for the new journey that was about to become even more special.
What Is Four Paws?
Four Paws organization was established in 1988, which is working on its one and only goal: to help animals who have been the victims of inhumanity. For them, animal protection, human safety, and nature conservation go hand-in-hand. Not only they provide rapid direct help to animals in distress but they also try to provide natural habitat to abused animals.
They gave Tomi the environment and place that brought back his bear nature.
New Member In Sanctuary
After all the rescue and paperwork he was shifted to the sanctuary Prishtina. Fitore Berisha, a guide in the center told,“Like no other bear in the center, Tomi has enjoyed his new home since the first day, always playing and looking content,” He received first-class veterinary care and is living the life fit for a bear. Just take a minute and look at him in the above picture that conveys so many emotions of freedom and excitement. See how relaxed he looks. Doesn’t it makes you happy?
This Habitat Suits Me
After living for almost two years in that tiny cage Tomi found his new home that was close enough to the natural habitat where he can spend the rest of his life close to nature and with his love that was missing from his life.
Carsten explained that the bear sanctuary Prishtina has a ‘large enclosure providing a habitat much closer to his natural environment, with grass, trees, and activities to keep him busy.’ Another beautiful surprise was waiting for him that was about to enter in his life.
