Bear baiting continues unpunished in Pakistan. For information on this cruel blood sport and how you can help bring an end to it, visit WSPA’s website

Excellent news – Lucky is very ‘lucky’ indeed!
I am proud of WSPA who is doing so high for such a beutiful creature of GOD. i was not aware that a bear could be as beautifull as lucky is because this is the first unchained Himalayan brown bear of pakistan i am looking at it is gorgeous i am feeling some sort of love emrging out of my heart for bears.
i hope one day all other bears will be even more Lucky
i would request all peoples to support WSPA and thier efforts so one day our dream come true
Amazing
where on earth this bear sanctuary located
i wounder if it is Pakistan?
do we have such work for wildlife in Pakistan ?
i dont belive this
can any body tell me more about this sanctuary?
if WSPA pakistan have any its website?
in thier international website i couldnt find much about thier work in Pakistan
I am so happy that at least one bear has been saved so far. Just the beginning I hope. It is a cruel and unthinkable thing to do to one of God’s creatures. I will pray for the unlucky ones and for the continued success of this wonderful organization.
