🆘 #EmergencyMissionArgentina – Our First Update! 🇦🇷
Together with our Chief Programme Officer, Luciana DAbramo, the on-site teams first task at the former zoo Luján was to map all enclosures and classify the animals according to their level of need. 📋🐾
Together, step by step, we can give them the future they deserve! ➡️ https://bit.ly/emergency-mission-argentina
Even though we had previously visited the site, it was still overwhelming to see so many animals in urgent need of care. 💔 Years and years of experience in the field now prove invaluable — and deeply necessary. 💪
Our team worked tirelessly to adapt the existing enclosures to improve husbandry management, provide more space, and enhance animal safety. Transport crates were also built, allowing the team to transfer animals to other enclosures on the premises without having to anaesthetise them. 🦁
The goal is to get everything ready for the veterinary assessment, during which many of these animals will receive a proper medical examination for the very first time in their lives. 🩺
Lioness Lucy will be one of the first animals to be examined, together with tigress Flora, who suffers from severely ingrown nails causing her intense pain and difficulty moving properly, as well as the two bears, Gordo and Florencia. 🐻🐻
We are proud of what has already been achieved, and we are eager to move ahead with the veterinary checks for the animals. ✨️
A new chapter in their lives starts now!
Your support can make this emergency mission possible! Many animals urgently need veterinary checks and treatment. Every donation — big or small — makes a real difference in their lives. 💚

FOUR PAWS UK and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs brought together Parliamentarians and campaigners to celebrate the launch of the Animal Welfare Strategy! 🐶👏
This really is cause for celebration. The Animal Welfare Strategy is one of the most ambitious and compassionate plans the UK has ever put forward for protecting animals. From our beloved companion animals to wildlife and farmed animals, it lays out a bold vision for a kinder future - one that could create real, lasting change for generations to come.

![Flora is LOVING her new life! | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xIgrniVgir4/mqdefault.jpg "Flora is LOVING her new life! | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]

Flora is an active now three-year-old bear who was rescued last December from illegal keeping in Albania. Very likely taken from the wild as a cub, she spent the first years of her life in a barren cage. No trees, no fresh soil to forage, no den to hibernate... she had nothing else but a bed of rocks.
...Until FOUR PAWS came to the rescue and transported her all the way from Albania to her new forever home in Germany! 🚑
Each bear we rescue settle in very differently once they arrive in our sanctuaries. Some need time to carefully observe their new surroundings, some shyly spend weeks indoors to take it all in...
Flora fast-tracked her adaptation: the clever young bear knows how to keep her caretakers busy, as she curiously utilises and understands all the enrichment and amenities in a record time.
🛝Remember the swing that was prepared by the caretakers using old fire hoses? Rocking it.
🪜 The platform that was built for her to climb and rest? Having a blast.
🧂The stimulating scents and tasty new food she was offered to try? Sniffed and slurped, and she now has a list of favourites.
⚠️ Floras story is far from being an isolated case, as many wild animals are still illegally kept in Albania. Bears and big cats that will never get the chance to be rescued and experience the species-appropriate life they deserve in a sanctuary. FOUR PAWS will keep fighting to end the private keeping of wild animals in the country and to put a stop to the unnecessary suffering of wild species for human entertainment. 😾

A second chance, and then another. 🐻
After years of hardship, Frol and Frosia were rescued in 2020 and given a safe home at BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr. 🌳
Late last year, the beloved duo moved to our partner sanctuary, BEAR SANCTUARY Belitsa in Bulgaria, where they continue to thrive.
This summer has been filled with pool time, playful wrestling matches, and enrichment treats from their caring team. 💚

This footage, taken in March & April 2026, shows brown bear Tim in Zoo park Rožman, Slovenia, and it’s heartbreaking. 💔
These conditions are being considered “acceptable” under Slovenian law, and the owner of the zoo, Mr. Rožmanec, claims that Tim is “doing well”!
BUT, Tim is not doing well! Tim is suffering!
Tim is exhibiting stereotypical behaviors resulting from stress caused by his very poor, unstimulating, and very small cage.
Tim is exhibiting these repetitive and compulsive behaviors by walking along the bars at the front of his cage, from left to right, and pressing his body against the bars, which is known to be a psychological disorder.
This is all the space Tim has known since he was a tiny cub.
A tattered ball and a wooden block hanging from the ceiling of his cage — that’s all he has to keep him busy!
This is Tim’s life - 24/7.
Tim deserves so much more than this.
At BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach we have a 3,500-square-meter natural enclosure ready for him. Here, Tim would have plenty of space to roam, dig, forage for food, and engage with the enrichment activities provided for him. Our offer to rescue Tim still stands, and we could relocate him at any time!
While rescued bears Felix and Mici are finally living the lives they deserve at our sanctuary, Tim remains trapped in a barren cage, deprived of everything a brown bear needs. 💔
Every day he stays there is another day of suffering.

He cannot wait any longer. Tim deserves better. BEAR SANCTUARY Arbesbach is the solution.
