“This is the image of trauma that sometimes is never cured and is never forgotten,” said the representatives of the Millions of Friends Association, who, after several years denouncing Ina’s situation, and with the support of the National Environmental Guard , they managed to transfer the bear to the sanctuary.
In addition to the video, the bear sanctuary shared the following reflection with the aim of making the population aware of this type of situation: “When you visit a zoo with small cages or a circus where there are bears remember this.”
Currently, Ina has a patch of trees, her own pool and den for shelter, although it is likely that some time will pass and she will need help until she learns to live outside that imaginary cage.
