Just to let you know, we are keeping up the pressure with this petition so that TWRA knows they will not be able to act in such a way again.

Thus far, none of the 'power brokers' have had the courtesy to reply, but that is fine. We just need to keep stuffing their email boxes so they know we are not going away.

The Class of 2025 cubs will be on their way sooner or later, sadly, so we want to make sure TWRA acts fairly toward the new orphans this spring, and until they get rewilded at the end of the year. Sadly, those 13 cubs were killed, not rewilded as they should have been.

Thank you for all your support-it has meant the world to Appalachian Bear Rescue during the dark days of December when the cubs were killed. 

Their huge renovation project continues so TWRA can't find fault with anything. If you would like to donate, go to: https://appalachianbearrescue.org/2024-bear-necessities-campaign/ Times are tough these days, but every little bit helps, or SHARE the petition. We have been encouraging $13 donations in memory of the 13 cubs.  

Many thanks for all your help!
