Transformation Of Gijna
Due to the heavy alcohol consumption and the treatment she got from her owner and people she became that anxious and stressed bear that resulted in the several mood swings where she would stressed out with any reason and was afraid to even touch the water. But her transformation has been the most remarkable in the sanctuary.
Hi, I Am Gijna
She was really quiet but now she is going into the pool, eating vegetables, and even trying to find out different methods to communicate with other bears and caretakers in the sanctuary. She spends most of her time swimming and running in the grass with other bears.
Jeta’s owner thought of her as a means to earn money where he would roam around the beach with Jeta who had a ring pierced in her nose through which a chain was connected. Her owner used her as a prop for the people who wanted to take a selfie with the bear at the beach while he holds the chain and made her move the way he wants.Jeta ,The Selfie Bear
Four Paws International explained. “Many tourists want a selfie with a bear and pay money for it.”
If being in a chain was not enough, her owner even kept her in the cage after all the posing at the beach. The cage was dirty and small that his owner kept it in the darkroom where rays of light was a privilege. Thanks to Four Paws that now she will guide her life in her own terms where the sound of chains won’t scare her anymore. After she was rescued the first thing they did was to release her from the chains that ran through her nose for years. “Our team has just released Jeta from years of agony!” Four Paws wrote. “When she awakens from the anesthetic, she will finally be able to move independently without being guided by the chain.” Imagine her first walk on a green grass and no people in sight that want to click selfies with her but only her and her freedom to roam around and live life fit for bear.Chained And Caged
There still other bears like Jeta who are still waiting for a miracle to happen that will break the chains that are stopping them to taste the freedom they deserve.Breaking The Chains
Promising Future
According to Four Paws, Jeta is showing great improvements in her health and mental stability. She is currently living in a zoo and after her recovery, she will be shifted to Prishtina Bear Sanctuary in Kosovo, where she will meet Tomi and Hope and will start a whole new life. Hope they three gets along.
