Baloo needs your help
Baloo’s case is currently in the spotlight, but if we fail to act now the moment may pass. If you believe Baloo shouldn’t suffer a moment longer, then please donate today. Your kind gift could also help care for the other 119 bears living at Libearty, who have all been rescued from exploitation or horrific circumstances, alongside animals in need all around the world.
Donate nowAfter 23 years being held captive at a Romanian ski resort, we finally have a chance to rescue Baloo.
Over 100,000 people all over the world have signed a petition demanding his release to the Libearty Sanctuary, but now we need your help to turn this people power into a new life for Baloo.
By donating today, you can help us harness this groundswell of public support and work with the Romanian government to build a legal case to rescue Baloo and move him to the Libearty Bear Sanctuary. There he can live out his days in peace.
Your gift could also help the 119 other bears who call Libearty home, by supplying them with the food, medicine, and care they need to have the best quality of life possible. As Europe’s largest bear sanctuary, it offers these bears 69 hectares of beautiful coniferous forest to roam in, with lakes, trees and rivers to play in.
After experiencing a life of such pain and distress, we can think of nothing better than to free Baloo from his suffering and give him the chance of a new life at Libearty where he can finally rest, recover and make friends with his own kind.
This is our best chance of rescuing Baloo. We can’t let it pass.
We will use your donation where the need is greatest to protect animals, like those featured in this appeal, from cruelty and suffering.
