After spending its life in a concrete cage, Vova can now roam free for the first time.
A male brown bear, 20-year-old Vova, was rescued by animal-rights organization Four Paws, headquartered in Vienna, Austria. The bear used to perform at a recently burned-down restaurant in the Khmelnytskyi region of Ukraine.
Despite ongoing Russian attacks, support for animals remains. Four Paws said:"The Bear Sanctuary continues to provide a safe place for bears in need." Despite the change in the law,"the court that was supposed to decide his fate twice dismissed the case." Four Paws has already rescued seven bears from the White Rock Bear Shelter near Kyiv. The shelter was operated by a partner organization called Save Wild Fund."With Kyiv badly affected by the war, a local transport company brought the bears to the bear sanctuary in the safer western part of the country," it said.
