Seattle, WA, August 01, 2008 --(
PR.com)-- The International Fund for Animal Welfare, a charity partner of The Animal Rescue Site (www.theanimalrescuesite.com), works with concerned citizens and animal rescue efforts around the world. Since 1996, IFAW has supported the work of Professor Valentin Pazhetnov to save orphaned bear cubs in Russia.
Each year, bear cubs are left orphaned as a result of the winter bear hunt in Russia. Cubs are born bald, toothless, and blind, and depend on their mothers for at least two seasons; alone, they have no chance of survival. Professor Pazhetnov has successfully nurtured and released more than a hundred such orphaned bears back into the wild.
Professor Pazhetnov and his family bottle-feed and care for the orphaned bear cubs at the Clean Forest Biological Station 350 kilometers northwest of Moscow. When the bears are old enough, they are fed once a day, then left to wander the forest freely and forage for themselves, reducing their dependency on humans.
Working with IFAW, The Animal Rescue Site has created a Gift That Gives More™ to aid Professor Pazehtnov and his family in preparing these orphaned cubs for successful reintroduction into the wild. One $50 “Rescue Orphaned Bear Cubs” Gift That Gives More™ provides three days’ worth of care.
