Spending a day with the bears

 Starting with this statement, we understand that when we talk about animals, about their rights, their suffering, we are really talking about human responsibilities.

The bear sanctuary in Pristina is the place where there are many bears rescued from different areas of Kosovo!

 

 

A beautiful morning started with the decision to visit the bear sanctuary in Prishtina where I managed to understand that most of the bears had a painful past,but their present is safer and easier,thanks to the care of people.

When I started to visit the bears, what I enjoyed the most was when I was reading the description of their stories and characteristics marked on the boards.

The stories of some of them were the ones that made me emotional because of the pain they had experienced before, but that their situation now was completely different, they have a calm and safe life.

 

Some stories which will remain in my mind for a long time were the painful moments that some of them had gone through, such as:one of the bears named Steve had lost his sight during a fight with another bear where his condition had worsened due to the conditions he was living in and was very stressful.

Another bear named Lena had erratic behavior and was one of the most sensitive bears,and as a wish she had frequent bathing, especially during hot days.

Another characteristic was that most of the bears were in hibernation, I would like to visit them too. The road  to visit the bears it was long so I was able to enjoy the nature and the place that was surrounding them. It was attractive and impressive because I was trying to photograph every detail that was there.

The impression of another bear was his name which was called Anik, but at the time I visited him he was sleeping. He had been locked in a cage surrounded by concrete, but now his space was large and green.

Their stories made me feel really bad because they also deserve to have a good life which I am very happy they are living now in a better place.

 

 

 

After so many years that had passed, I had the opportunity to visit this place again, but really, with the passage of time, things change, I was amazed by nature with its greenery and the arrangement of the place with many beautiful things.

 

To explore new things, it is more efficient to do it with the right person, so this time I had the opportunity to enjoy this exploration with my friends. All the time we were talking to each other, exchanging information, taking photos together,expressing our thoughts  and our emotions and we were enjoying these moments together that made it more attractive.

 

This trip was one of the best trips I've ever made, it made me more curious to visit as many such places as possible. It was a new experience for me that I managed to understand a lot from them.
