Dear friend,
Meet Daria, a courageous mother bear, and her three adorable cubs, Tasha, Lulu, and Kyle.
Found in a desperate state, scrounging for food in a Romanian village, Daria's leg was severely fractured, leaving her with a permanent limp. Desperate and unable to provide for her cubs, they faced a grim future. But their story takes a heartwarming turn when village authorities reached out to our partner bear sanctuary, Libearty.
Read on to discover how this loving bear family found a safe haven at the sanctuary.

Are we over-using antibiotics on farm animals?
Antibiotics are essential for treating bacterial diseases in animals used in food production. However, their widespread use as a preventive measure, rather than for treating sick animals, has become a common practice in intensive farming systems.
Not only does this allow poor animal welfare, but this is an urgent human health concern as well. This excessive use of antibiotics contributes to the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, also known as "superbugs," which pose a significant threat to public health. This is a crisis we cannot ignore.
Our latest report, ‘Reducing antibiotic use in farming through improvements to animal welfare’, highlights the overuse of antibiotics in intensive animal agriculture and why immediate action is critical!
