We, humans, are the most advanced species in the entire chain of living organisms. But what makes us superior to others is the emotions that we feel which we are able to share it with our loved ones and with the people around us. Now take a look around you and ignore all the human, what did you see? You will find animals roaming around with the most simple expressions on their face that only ask for our love and care. They also have emotions but the only thing that they don’t have is the capability to convey all these emotions that they go through. If you have a pet in your house then you must be aware of the unconditional love that they provide you. But why do we only love our pets and not the animals that do not belong to us? Just because they are wild and live outside your home. I agree, that not all animals can be treated in the same way we treat our pets but we should not forget that even a wild horse can be tamed with love and proper care.
There are around 50 bears that are living in small cages in Albania and are used as a tourist attraction and photo props. But with the help of the rescue organization Four Paws, they helped in the release of the first bear named Tomi from the cage where he lived for 5 years spending his days in being captive in dismissal conditions.

Today, Tomi is free and lives in a sanctuary where something amazing was waiting for him. Let’s meet Tomi, the bear who is much more special than the character Baloo from The Jungle Book.

Tomi-Story

Tomi was caged in Albania in a restaurant since he was a cub. He was used as an entertainment source for the people who visited the place. Once described as the saddest bear in the world by the International media, today, Tomi lives his life enjoying and catching apples in an open sanctuary near Lake Badvovc, 21 kilometers from Pristina. It is not just Tomi but there are other bears too who go through same exploitation and inhumanity.
