Rescue bears from captivity - charities lending a paw
| Help rescued bears. There are lots of bears who need help – and this page concentrates on those bears who rescuring from a life of captivity. Some have been rescued already and they need kind people like you and I to come forward and help sustain their care in the sanctuaries where they now live so that all their needs can be catered for. Many rescued bears cannot be released in the wild. They are not used to looking after themselves and they do not have the skills and knowledge they need to survive. Some are too badly injured or traumatised. So they stay in a sanctuary where they can live out their days in safety, where they are cared for. These charities rescue bears from a life of captivity: International Animal Rescue is on a mission to help suffering bears in Armenia. Beautiful brown bears are locked up in small, squalid cages, just surviving on scraps and filthy water.

They frantically seek an escape route, pacing to and fro and banging their heads against the bars.
