Born Free - Keep Wildlife in the wild

Hi, my name is Emma and this is my blog. Thank you so much for taking an interest in what I am doing and reading my blog! I am doing an advocacy page for 'Born Free Wild life foundation' and I am going to inform you about this charity and what it does. 'Born Free' was set up in 1998 and has been expanding ever since. I am going to tell you, now about a Moon Bear called Ginny and how she was rescued by this wonderful charity.

For a long time Ginny, was kept in a tiny cage that is known as a 'crush' cage. She was in a situation of being 'milked' for her bile. This was extremely painful for Ginny and she had been open to many infections. The horrific pain traumatised Ginny for a number of years. The reason for this bear bile farming is that bear bile is used in traditional Asian medicines.

 








In the year 2000, however she was rescued and brought to the Born Free foundation in Asia, she was given several operations to repair the damage to her gall bladder. She has recovered from her experience and now lives with 200 other rescued moon bears. She enjoys her fresh food, playing with her friends and swimming in cool, clear water. This is a vast contrast to her previous establishment that she was held in. Now, she is as happy as can be because of Born Free. She has good care and is left to her habitat which has lush green foliage and lots of enrichment to keep her natural instincts there!

Thank you once again for taking time to show an interest in my blog. I would now like to ask you a few questions-

Do you now feel more informed about Born Free?
Would you now consider donating to them?
Would you tell your friends and families about them?
Finally, please tell me-
Where you are from i.e. your nearest town and country (If you are not in the UK)

Thanks Again Emma!
