Rescued Grizzly Bear Sanctuary - Prishtina, Kosovo [4K]

The Bear Sanctuary Prishtina is a national park in Kosovo in close proximity to the city of Prishtina. For many years, there was no law against keeping brown bears in Kosovo. All privately kept brown bears lived in small cages at restaurants. They were born mostly in the forests of Kosovo or Albania and snatched from their mothers by animal dealers. As restaurant bears they were supposed to attract customers, and thus profit, for their owners. In November 2010, when it became illegal to keep bears privately, there was a need for a national park as a new home for the restaurant bears rescued from captivity. The Bear Sanctuary Prishtina has currently 13 brown bears in custody (as of July 2013). These ‘restaurant bears’ had been tracked down and registered by the government of Kosovo during the last few years and have been rescued in 2013. Two restaurant bears, named Rambo and Luta, could not be saved, because their proprietors killed the bears only hours before the rescue team arrived. The sanctuary is built on an area of fifteen hectares. In addition to the existing facilities, a new training center will be built in the park in order to improve the public attention to animal welfare and environmental problems in Kosovo.
