Fortunately, in recent years we have worked tirelessly to combat animal abuse. There are many actions in society that put these living beings at risk.
One of them are circuses, because they take animals out of their natural habitat and do not allow them to develop as their instinct requires. In addition, they keep them in recurrent confinement and do not attend to their needs whenever they need it. This is what happened to Toshka, a bear who was exploited by a circus for 25 years of his life. In this way, he lived in precarious conditions and suffered mistreatment in order to be trained as the owners of the place wanted.
As a result, a group of rescuers became aware of the situation and decided to save the animal. Thus, after a great deal of efforts, they managed to get the animal out of the circus and took it to a natural sanctuary. In this way, after 25 years, they were able to place him in an environment surrounded by the nature that his species needs. They also managed to give him the freedom he had been deprived of for so long. However, despite the good intentions of the rescuers, the bear was initially afraid of the place. After such a long time, he had forgotten his native needs and feared that something bad might happen to him while exploring the place.
Likewise, because of all the mistreatment he had received, he had a pronounced fear of people. Therefore, he was not interested in encountering any sanctuary workers. Thus, for the first few days he remained hidden in the bushes. This was because he understood that this was the only place where no one could attack him. However, as time went by, he realized that the new people around him treated him differently. For that reason, he made the decision to give in a little and begin to get to know his surroundings.
This is because he understood that each one of them attended to his needs on time and cared about making him feel good. Likewise, they allowed him to move wherever he wanted and to do whatever activities caught his attention. In this way, he began to enjoy nature and was acquiring habits typical of his species. His intention was to enjoy his new life and forget all the bad moments he had experienced 25 years before.
As a result, he found a favorite pastime that little by little has been improving his health and well-being. This consists of sitting under a stream of water to shower and dry off in the sun. Here we share the exciting video so you can witness the bear’s improvement:
