Berlin Bears

Schnute and Maxi, mother and daughter, are both European brown bears that have been housed in the bear pit since their birth: 1981 and 1986 respectively. The two bears are usually seen to repeatedly pace up and down their enclosure with an occasional twist of the head, a common behavioural disorder observed in bears in captivity. Many Berliners are unaware of their existence and are horrified when they are discovered. Many of those who know the plight of Schnute and Maxi want them rehomed elsewhere.

Many people have written to help to rehome these bears but we still need more help, for more information about these bears and what you can do to help go to:- http://www.bornfree.org.uk/get-involved/campaigning/letter-writing/
