Oursons orphelins en Russie

La pétition qui a circulé en faveur des oursons en Russie n'a pas recueilli assez de signatures à ce jour. Merci de vous mobiliser.

Le moment où les ours sont le plus fragiles et en danger est la saison de leur hibernation. C'est évidement les moments que l'homme privilégie pour mettre cette race en danger !
Pour aider les centres refuges des oursons laissés orphelins pendant les chasses aux ours qui se déroulent pendant la période d'hibernation. Les chasseurs paient jusqu'à 2000 dollars pour avoir le droit de chasser et chaque année 3000 à 4000 oursons sont laissés sans aucune chance de survie. Lorsqu'ils sont sauvés, les oursons pèsent à peine un demi à un kilo ! IFAW qui lance la pétition finance le PROJET OURSONS ORPHELINS qui a déjà permis  à plusieurs centaines d'oursons d'être sauvés et réintégrés dans la Nature sauvage.


Présentation de la pétition par Fred OReagan, IFAW

Dear FRIENDS,

In Russia, wealthy hunters pay more than US$2,000 to rouse brown bears from hibernation and kill them.

The hunters' dogs dig and bark at the den while the hunters wait nearby with rifles poised. When the bear climbs out of the den, the hunters shoot and the bear's cubs are made orphans.

Each year 3,000 to 4,000 bear cubs are left with no chance of survival by the Russian bear hunt.

You are their only hope

Since 1995, IFAW has funded the Orphan Bear Project, run by world-renowned scientist Valentin Pazhetnov. More than 100 Russian bear cubs have been rescued by the Orphan Bear Project. Mr. Pazhetnov%u2019s innovative techniques for raising and rehabilitating bear cubs have resulted in hundreds of bears being successfully released into the wild.

Most bear cubs when rescued weigh only one or two pounds and cannot survive without their mothers. But with your help, these tiny handfuls of fur will grow up to become healthy bears %u2013 eventually released into Russia%u2019s protected forests.

The rescued cubs are bottle-fed warm milk formula five times a day, massaged after each feeding, and warmed with special carpets. Voices are never used while working with the cubs and human contact is kept to a minimum, enabling the cubs to successfully return to the wild without becoming tame.

The more contributions IFAW receives, the more cubs we can save

In many places in Europe, brown bears are extinct in the wild. The bears being hunted in Russia are from the last healthy brown bear population in the world.

IFAW has already successfully campaigned for a ban on den hunting in three Russian districts and is pushing hard for federal anti-cruelty legislation in the Russian Parliament. Together, we can make a real difference for these cubs and other animals around the world.

Please help now when the survival of these bears cubs is most at stake.

Sincerely,

Fred ORegan
