🐻💔 We need YOUR voice to help #FreeBearTim
Tim has suffered long enough.
Tim was born in 2003 and ever since he was just a tiny cub, he has been kept in poor conditions at the private Zoo park Rožman in Slovenia. Although FOUR PAWS is offering Mr. Rožmanec to rescue bear Tim since 2022, he still has no chance to live a species-appropriate life— unless we speak up. 🔊
Let’s show together that the world is watching, and that Tim deserves a fresh start.
At our beautiful BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach in Austria, Tim could finally enjoy space and proper care. Yet his owner, Mr. Rožmanec, continues to refuse to voluntarily hand Tim over to us — claiming Tim is doing well.
But is Tim really doing well at Zoo park Rožman?
We visited Tim in 2022. In 2023, we were denied access. Since 2024, Zoo park Rožman has no valid license to operate as a zoo, and the facility is closed to visitors. What is Tim’s life like behind those closed gates?
Meanwhile, Felix and Mici, two other bears rescued in 2025, are now thriving at our sanctuary.
Tim could finally thrive too — if given the chance.
Mr. Rožmanec, Tim deserves a better life.
Slovenia deserves better for its wildlife. 🐾
✨ Let’s make history together by ending the cruel keeping of brown bears in Slovenia once and for all!
✨ Let’s give Tim the chance to start over again under the care of FOUR PAWS.
Will you help us?

As a cub, Tyson was cruelly torn from his mother and spent 16 years trapped in a filthy cage at a remote hunting station in western Ukraine, where he was likely used illegally as bait. 💔
Then, in October 2017, Tyson’s second chance finally arrived. After tireless negotiations, our team rescued Tyson and brought him to the safe haven of BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr. 🌳
Today, Tyson is thriving. He’s healthy, happy, and living the peaceful life he always deserved, side by side with his best friend, Mashutka. 🐻
Now, summer days look very different for Tyson, spent lounging beneath the trees and splashing happily in his pool. He’s got a great appetite and a love for peanuts, tomatoes, and apples, simple joys that mean everything after years of hardship. 🍏

The food system is broken - but we don’t have to accept it. 📢
Our multi-award-winning documentary Eating the Future exposes the hidden suffering inside factory farms and the systemic failures behind what we eat.
Voiced by BAFTA-winning Mia McKenna-Bruce (@mia_mbruce), the film follows an undercover investigator driven by fear of climate collapse - and a search for hope. ✨ Along the way, she meets ecological farmers, scientists, slaughterhouse workers, doctors, and activists who reveal what it will take to build a fairer food system.
We believe this story needs to be shared!
That’s why we offer the film free of charge for independently organized screenings, empowering grassroots groups, educators, and communities to lead the conversation on food system change. Head on over to https://www.four-paws.org/our-stories/blog-news/year-2025/eating-the-future-take-action-for-animals-and-the-planet to find out more or contact us directly via eatingthefuture@four-paws.org!

When the enrichment hits so hard you become a fashion icon. 👒
This playful queen spent the early part of her life surrounded by the harsh reality of the circus industry, where wild animals are exploited for human entertainment. 💔🦁
After being rescued from a trainer that sold wild animals to circuses, Nala’s journey eventually brought her to our @LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary. 🌄
She now enjoys the simple joys she deserves, from boxes and teddy bears to creating her own lioness-approved accessories.
The tongue-out and camera eye contact at the end? 10/10 commitment to the pose. 👅

Why are the bear dens at Arosa Bear Sanctuary so small? 🐻❄️
A great question that came up in one of our recent updates — and Arosa’s scientific director has the perfect explanation:
It’s all about what’s best for the bears.
Here’s what you need to know:
🔹 The dens measure 2 × 1 × 1 meters — just the right size for two brown bears to stretch out comfortably. 💤
🔹 In the wild, bears actually choose tiny dens for hibernation.
Why? Smaller spaces retain heat better, which means less energy lost and more energy saved throughout the winter. 🌨
🔹 Our prefabricated dens are insulated, windproof, and dry — designed to help the bears get through the cold season using as little energy as possible.
🐾 From an animal caretaker’s perspective, we’d love to offer them more room.
But from the bears’ perspective? A larger den would actually make winter survival harder.
And after eight years of observing them, the bears have made it clear:
These dens are exactly what they need. ✔️

![Lebanon: a bond stronger than the war | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XYBlds8LLpU/mqdefault.jpg "Lebanon: a bond stronger than the war | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]
Beirut, Lebanon: a bond so strong nothing could destroy it.
Kaseem’s whole life changed when his home was bombed and he had to be rushed to the hospital. There, he fell into a deep coma from his injuries.
Only his two cats remained in the rubble. Knowing how much their son cared for them, Kaseem’s parents called Animals Lebanon for help. The team searched and searched the rubble and finally rescued Caramel and Meshmosh from what was left of the house. The team brought the two confused pets to the safety of their shelter, where they received food and a veterinary check, which thankfully showed they were unharmed. 🐈🐈
But as Caramel welcomed the reassuring cuddles, his brother Meshmosh remained distant and scared, seemingly missing his home… 💔
In the meantime, Kaseem, who had to undergo multiple surgeries, was starting to recover. When he finally woke up from his coma, one of the first things he asked was if his two cats had been saved too.
And then one morning, still under close medical care and despite remaining partially paralysed, Kaseem gathered his strength and family to visit Animals Lebanon.
Timid at first, Meshmosh and Caramel quickly realised who had come back for them.
And just like that, Meshmosh jumped into the arms he had been missing all along. ❤️🩹
Everyone in the room stayed quiet as they witnessed the heartwarming reunion of a young man and his two dear friends he feared he had lost forever.
Kaseem’s story is a powerful reminder that the wars impact did not end with the ceasefire. Families are still rebuilding their lives, and many still cant return home with the animals they love.
FOUR PAWS and Animals Lebanon stand together to ensure that Caramel, Meshmosh and many others, remain safe, healthy, and ready to reunite with their families when the day comes.
