Portugal: Imprisoned bears are taken to zoo
posted in 14 Dec 2010

A few weeks ago we received one denounce from Portugal of three bears that were living for five years in a Cage after being abandoned by a broke circus in the countryside of Portugal. They lived due to the public charity.

Last week good news came from Lisbon: the bears had been rescued by Portugal Environment Authority and were taken to Lisbon Zoo. In spite of being a victory, it is worth to remember that Lisbon Zoo is known by its overpopulation, which they do not have conditions to manage properly. Something else must be done!
