For more than two decades Mici and Tim are being kept in conditions which do not meet the needs of these bears. They lack: proper care and feeding, enrichment and professional medical care. Both bears show stereotypic behaviour caused by boredom and stress. FOUR PAWS urgently wants to rescue them, but the authorities are relucted to help stop the suffering of these bears.

FOUR PAWS is ready to step in, ready to rescue and relocate them to one of our sanctuaries. But we cannot do it alone! Your contribution today could mean a big difference for Mici and Tim.

Please join our call and help us to rescue Mici and Tim as soon as possible.

Send an e-mail to the Minister of Natural Resources and Spatial Planning of the Republic of Slovenia and ask him to order the necessary confiscations. Take action now!

Leave a message on the Social Media channels of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Spatial Planning, which is responsible for the keeping conditions of the bears, and of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food, which is responsible for the welfare of the bears.
