Default Please look here to help bears in captivity!

Wouldnt normally post this sort of link, but its my wife and a great cause imho.

Next year my wife is doing a walk through the mountains of Romania, to raise money to help a bear sanctuary there. This sanctuary rescues bears from captivity, ie in little cages as tourist attractions, and gives them a home in a natural enviroment. There is more info on the site in the link. Please if you can, donate something towards this good cause, even if its just a little bit!

Thanks guys!

I've given you some too. I only really like Koala, Panda and teddy bears as they don't see me as lunch!

But Dangerous made me feel guilty on email so you can thank him again

Is that a rat your wife is holding

If they are tax paying UK residents they could have given around another £40 for FREE to the charity... thats how I understand it anyway


That dog scares the shit out of me... and Max KNOWS it!

Hi mate, thanks so much for the donation, it means alot to Katie and me!
Not sure about the tax thing to be honest, will get her to have a look, suspect people perhaps just don't understand it.

Yes it is a rat in the pic, thats the first one we had, his name was Bob, died 3 years back. We have quite a few of them now, all tame! I don't tend to mention them cos someone always has something negative to say!!

Again, thanks so much fella!

Ah just had a quick look on the site and you are not allowed to add the tax if you are a sponsering a family member doing a overseas event. So thats why 2 people didnt do it, I think I will get her to add something to the page explaining it thou, so everyone else knows to do it, cos its all a bit misleading!

edit to say, if you dont pay uk tax you cant do it, which also rules those people out, Sue is katies aunt and works in the USA, Narf is her nan who is a oap and Alex is a poxy student lol.

Yeah it was peer pressure from dangerous that made me cave in too


Seriously though, very worthy cause and sounds like a hell of a trek for her to do too, not jus the usual "im going to jump out of a plane" nonsense

You`re slightly confused Chip,

I think Mike R offered the ride in the back of his car in the woods
