Late last year we helped rescue Nepal’s last dancing bears, Rangila and Sridevi. But we’re devastated to learn they were taken – without our knowledge – to a poor welfare zoo, where Sridevi died. We’re urging the government to reveal why the bears were taken there and ensure it protects Rangila.
For more than 20 years we’ve been working to stop the cruel practice of using bears for entertainment. Thanks to you, we’ve ended bear dancing in Greece, Turkey, India and, most recently, Nepal.
