This project aims to raise awareness for the poor private keeping conditions of captive brown bears and wild animals in general in Ukraine.Currently, around 60 bears are still kept in private captivity under poor keeping conditions in Ukraine: at hunting stations in danger to be illegally used as bait to train hunting dogs; in private collections; in circuses; at entertainment and leisure facilities. As a result of such animal abuse, many bears suffer and require rescue and rehabilitation in specialized centres called Sanctuaries or Rehabilitation centres.
The problem of cruel treatment of wild animals in Ukraine is a very challenging subject and one that must be clearly identified in order to find a long-term solution. In order to solve this problem, we need to know more about it.
