Wake up!!
Wake up… we have to go now...
Last 40 years
lives of farm bears had been nightmares
The environment didn’t meet even the basic requirements for lives
Nothing could be done alone..
The only way out is by death..
An animal protection org was transferred the ownership over the bears
But the bears could not be freed from the cage due to an absence of appropriately equipped institution
Cho Hui-Kyung, President l Korean Animal Welfare Association From now on, hardship is over!!
In the US, they will be living in a sanctuary where the environment is very close to the wilderness
New bears are coming!!
Though we won’t see much cos it’s a big sanctuary..
22 bears are moving to the United States!!!
(Very good job)
One by one, people are arriving
and getting them ready for the take off
Huh..?
Sleepy head teddy bear♡
Let's go teddy bear
quickly give them vaccines and needed examinations
and NEXT PLEASE
Wake up!!
(Ey.. is that necessary..)
Yang Jung-Jin, Director l Korea National Park Service Wildlife veterinary This is to boost the stimulant shot so they wake up fast
Close it Quickly
21 bears left
At that time
Everyone’s attention is drawn to her
Gloria (Refer to Part 1♡)
Is there a possibility of getting better if she gets treatment now?
Examining her eyes
Lee Hye-Won, Vet l Korean Animal Welfare Association She doesn’t have eyeballs at all.. It’s impossible… to treat, to make her see again
But
She’s moving to a place where she can smell and feel so much more
Don’t feel disappointed Don’t feel sad
Let’s go to the sanctuary
all 22 farm bears are on borad
The end
Han Hyuk, Director of Strategy l Korean Animal Welfare Association Since they were born in Korea, it’d have been nice if they could spend the rest of their lives here
It’s a pity that we couldn’t and have to send them to the US
Sanctuary in the US is exceptional
I hope they live happily and comfortably as much as they have suffered here
Bye-bye, bears~
Good-bye~
Wha…
Where is it
The vast field you can’t see where it ends
Grand scale protected field
Arrived at the sanctuary
Pat Craig l Founder of The Wild Animal Sanctuary Sanctuaries are generally rescued animals.
And they also want to make sure that even though they are in the public, the animals have all the privacy they want.
So that they’re able to run free and they don’t have to be on display all the time.
and we don’t commercialize, sell or breed or anything like that.
But the animals, they just spend the rest of their life in a very comfortable setting.
Happy life, you want it?
Let's get it on!
A temporary stay until they get used to the place
Oh my, car sick..
Welcome
These bears used to live in cages with no floor
yet, here it has a soft mattress
and a hiding spot you can go whenever you want..
And, this nice place is only a temporary space
Once they are adjusted here they will be out there
I’m glad
This is where I’ll live?
Jesus..
One by one, cages are transferred
Excited
Heart pounding
High expectations
The moment everyone has waited
(Attached to the wall)
Spare me..
You’re still not coming out~?
(Sniff sniff)
After tasting snacks
step by step
the bear comes out to its new home!
With the support of many people
he could come to this wonderful place for himself
He smells around
Calming the nervous mind with clean water
Heevo-ho
Bringing in the chubby bear butt..
To my very own room♡
I got a little too excited..
Taylor Logan l Chief animal caretaker I think it was a huge success, yeah.
Obviously it was a huge undertaking but I think everyone came together really well.
I have a heart for the underdog. But, yeah we gotta get to know them all. Oscar (Refer to Part 1♡)
All have different personalities and that's one of the exciting things about it.
Look how they enjoy their new surroundings!
Who are you..
Meanwhile
Gloria who can’t see
froze unlike the other bear friends..
She moved here from living in a cage. The difference in environment must have made her far more nervous, even terrified, than the other fellas
This is because this is not the environment she lived her whole life
she doesn’t have a medium to judge if it’s good or bad..
It’s going to take a while until she realises that this place is a safe place for her
Strange environment she cannot put together in mind must be very scary
Yet, Gloria will adjust to this place slowly
feeling and experiencing one by one
One day, if this place can be drawn in Gloria’s mind
Perhaps then, she could enjoy this happiness by the fullest
Pat Craig l Founder of The Wild Animal Sanctuary Anywhere from 1 week to maybe 2 months at the most, somewhere in that range,
Before we turn them out into the very very large habitat which is 300 acres.
We want to make sure that they don’t go from very a small cage to all of the sudden having a too much space.
So what we’ll do is to monitor them on a daily basis
It took so long
to be able to drink clean water
and live stomping on the ground
A normal life...
Just by due to the fact that they are farm bears, in this small cage,
so many lives were raised, born, and died
Farm bears that used to be caged up here left for better environment, but
There are a lot more farm bears left in Korea
When can they face the world outside the cage
When can they feel everything up close
To the other farm bears left on this land, we wish a warm and beautiful spring to find them
