Numbers of wild animal keepings in Albania's backyards are still roaring, and poor legislation has led to dozens of wild species silently suffering in improper enclosures. ⛓️

В заключение на Спешната мисия в Аржентина Ви предлагаме един детайлен поглед на всичко, което се случи досега.
62 големи котки, две мечки - една спешна мисия в Аржентина #EmergencyMissionArgentina 🦁🐅🐻
През юли 2025 г. направихме история: подписахме Меморандум за разбирателство с правителството на Аржентина, който очертава нашата обща цел – да сложим край на частното отглеждане и търговията с големи котки в страната. Това историческо споразумение постави основата на нещо изключително, отвеждайки ни директно към бившия зоопарк Лухан.
Знаехме, че ни очаква много работа – от организиране на логистиката, включително палатки и работни пространства, до опознаване на терена и срещи с всички заинтересовани страни и животните на място. Но не се поколебахме. Само за няколко седмици нашият експертен екип, сред който имаше и български представители, ръководен от д-р Амир Халил и подкрепен от ветеринарите Юлия и Франк от Института „Лайбниц“ за изследване на зоопаркове и дивата природа, извърши 64 пълни ветеринарни прегледа.
Леченията бяха животоспасяващи:
✔️ Кастрация на всички мъжки големи котки, за да се предотврати размножаването
✔️ Лечение на сериозни дентални проблеми
✔️ Медицинска грижа за здравословни проблеми и рани, причинени от неподходящи условия
Зад кулисите усилията бяха също толкова интензивни: безкрайна координация с местните власти, купища документи и международен екипен труд, за да направим тази мисия възможна. Всеки детайл имаше значение, защото всеки живот имаше значение.
Тази мисия обедини страстни професионалисти от цял свят – и Вас, нашата невероятна общност. Вашата подкрепа ни вдъхновяваше дори когато се появяваха предизвикателства. ❤️🔥
А това е само началото. Настоящият ни приоритет е да намерим подходящите дългосрочни решения за всяко животно, които да са съобразени както с неговия вид, така и със специалните му нужди. 🔍

For many, today is the official #WorldAnimalDay.
For us, it’s every day.
🌅 From the moment we wake up to the last thought before sleep, animals and their welfare are always at the centre of our lives 🌙. In between lie countless hours of rescuing, campaigning, planning, worrying, celebrating — and sharing our wins (and even our setbacks) with you.
Every frame of this video holds a story. And each of those stories is written together with you — not just today, but all 365 days of the year.
Thank you for being part of it! ❤️

🐻 Hibernation Mode: Activated! ❄️
It’s that time of year at Arosa Bear Sanctuary – hibernation is just around the corner!
The four bears are slowing down:
✅ Resting a LOT
✅ No longer eating or drinking
✅ Barely any lavatory breaks (nature’s way of saving energy!)
They’re finally entering the cosy season. 💤
Meimo & Amelia have snuggled into their cosy den together – just like in previous years.
Sam & Jamila are still prepping, digging nesting material into other dens and switching between them. But at night? They love curling up together in one den. 🐾

![Why Do Bears Climb? 🌳🐻 | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tdGX5RGnYk4/mqdefault.jpg "Why Do Bears Climb? 🌳🐻 | FOUR PAWS | [SUBS]
⚙️ Turn on *SUBTITLES* [CC]
Surprised? You shouldn’t be!
Bears are actually amazing climbers. 🌳
They climb for all kinds of reasons.
Freya, for example, loves scaling heights to play, rest, and take in the world from above. 👀
And Anuk? She enjoys the view too, but she’s also got her eye on tasty treats hidden high in the branches. 🍎
For bears, climbing isn’t just fun… it’s instinct. 💪
That’s why in our sanctuaries, we encourage every animal to express their natural behaviours, exploring, playing, and climbing just as they would in the wild. 🌿

Earlier this week, we gave a big shout-out to some of our most curious, clever, and misunderstood residents—raccoons! 🦝💚
At our TIERART Wild Animal Sanctuary, 24 raccoons—from playful 1-year-olds to wise 14-year-olds—have found a safe haven filled with care, compassion, and second chances.
Did you know? Raccoons were first brought to Germany nearly 100 years ago for their fur. When released into the wild, they adapted quickly and spread across the country. But today, they face year-round hunting, even during seasons when they’re raising their young. Often unfairly blamed for various issues, raccoons have become scapegoats in a world they never chose. 💔
Despite the challenges, our team at TIERART remains committed. A few years ago, we built a new enclosure to meet the growing need—but our capacity is now full. Every raccoon here is a reminder of why sanctuaries like ours matter. 🌳
Let’s celebrate these resilient creatures and raise awareness about their plight. Every life deserves protection and a place to call home. 💚

Walk like the world is yours… because Kali certainly does. 🦁
Once part of South Africa’s “Golden Pride,” Kali and nine other lions were given a second chance after FOUR PAWS stepped in at the request of authorities. Following months of waiting and careful preparation, they made their journey to safety arriving at LIONSROCK Big Cat Sanctuary in November 2022. 🌄
And today? Kali is living life on his own terms. From playful wrestling matches to carefree rolls in the grass, and yes, even the occasional backflip he’s thriving exactly as a lion should. 🧡
