	Bulgarian hotel bear Monti rescued by FOUR PAWS! The fact that Bulgarian bear Monti spent most of the one and half years of his life in a hotel does not mean it was a life of luxury - by any standards. A tiny, 9 m² shed in which the fast growing wild animal was locked up was its sparse and entirely unacceptable habitat. When he was discovered by FOUR PAWS employees, the local authorities were alerted and arrangements made for Monti’s confiscation and transfer to DANCING BEARS PARK Belitsa. [more]

End of Bullfighting in Catalonia: FOUR PAWS congratulates! On Wednesday 28th July 2010, Catalonia's parliament abolished bullfighting throughout the autonomous region in north-eastern Spain. The final votes were as follows - 68 in favour, 55 against, and the rest were abstentions. The campaign against what many see as a cruel and unnecessary part of Spanish culture has intensified in recent years, with the people of Catalonia at the forefront of the [more]

Puppy trade: Stop illegal puppy farming! This is the slogan for the current international campaign against puppy smuggling, launched by the animal welfare organisation FOUR PAWS. Business is booming for criminals smuggling young dogs from Eastern Europe. The amount of suffering, deceit and corruption at the root of this industry is hard to imagine. There appears to be a never-ending supply of puppies, available through classified [more]

FOUR PAWS rescues young bear from horrendous captivity Several days ago, FOUR PAWS personnel made a terrible discovery in the Bulgarian town of Ruse: a young bear was confined in terrible conditions in a small building attached to a hotel. Research showed that one and a half year old Monti had been kept caged in the nine-square-metre room since shortly after his birth. Fortunately the FOUR PAWS team and the Bulgarian authorities were able to [more]

Praise for first Stray Animal Care (SAC) project in Croatia since 2005 Croatia is a vivid example of how fast times can change in animal welfare. Five years ago, FOUR PAWS conducted two initial visits of its Stray Animal Care programme (SAC) in the towns of Dubrovnik and Sibenik. Now, after the project gained heavily in popularity in other Eastern European countries, three days of hard work have been spent by the team in Sesvete, near the capital Zagreb. Public [more]

FOUR PAWS demands an end to bull fights and the Pamplona running of the bulls In Pamplona, as in many other parts of Spain, the infamous and cruel “sport” of bullfighting is still practiced. What makes Pamplona stand out is the cruel practice taking place at the moment: every morning for eight days, six bulls are driven through the narrow streets of the town and into the bullfighting arena for the entertainment of the baying crowds. The panicked animals [more]

Jordanian lions Seeta and Saba have arrived at LIONSROCK Lion cub Saba, who was rescued by the Princess Alia Foundation in Jordan and was scheduled to be transferred to South Africa in April, has finally arrived at his new home LIONSROCK. When the other group of Jordanian lions went on their journey earlier this year, there was no trace of the young animal: Saba had been hidden from the rescue team by employees of the zoo. After a dedicated fight [more]
