Contrition
I can't believe the only thing I could find to post about bears in
all the months I have been silent was the most horrible thing
imaginable. I'm so terrible at this.
There are so many small good things here and there I could have
posted but just never bothered to, small victories like grizzlies in the
48 being given endangered protection status again, or miracles like the
liberation of every moon bear freed from the horrific bile farms in
China and given a chance to enjoy life for the first time, and all the
growing outcry against the grizzly hunt in British Columbia, with
support from Charlie Russell, Jane Goodall, Deepak Chopra and a very
impassioned 12-year-old girl, or the extension of that hunt being
rejected, but no, I had to find only the most unspeakable atrocity
possible someone could commit against one of these poor creatures and
tell you all about it.
No more. You know what evils humans are capable of, now it's time to
see the good side of things.
To start turning things around here's a video of Kali Brauckmann and
her impassioned effort to stop the hunt, and how she got the support of
Deepak Chopra on board:

'dancing bears' in the streets of India to enjoying life at their new
sanctuary
