Help for abused bears

Donate now

Usually kept in terrible conditions, bears still suffer across the world. 

For decades, baby bears like Nastia have been brutally snatched from their mothers. Used as attractions for restaurants, forced to perform for circuses, and even used as baiting objects to train hunting dogs, hundreds of bears are exploited and tortured with the sole purpose of making money.

FOUR PAWS fights to provide the urgent protection that abused animals need.

Will you help us free more bears from their prisons?

  • £3 a month could feed a rescued bear for a day.
  • £6 a month could help to medically treat a rescued bear.
  • £12 a month could provide bear cubs with special milk formula for a week.
  • A generous monthly gift of £20 could fund the full care of an orphaned bear for a month.

Ending inappropriate keeping

To this day, we have rescued more than 200 bears. In our sanctuaries, they are safe, loved and cared for, experiencing species-appropriate conditions for the rest of their lives.

Focused on eradicating the inappropriate keeping of brown bears in Europe for good, we've succeeded in putting an end to the keeping of dancing bears in Bulgaria and Serbia, the illegal keeping of restaurant bears in Kosovo, and the illegal keeping of bears in Poland.

Your gift enables us to continue to fight the good fight. On behalf of the animals, the FOUR PAWS team would like to thank you!

Your gift could help to rescue neglected bears.

With gift aid, your monthly gift of £1 could be worth £1.25 at no extra cost to you.

I understand you will reclaim the tax I've paid on this donation, any I've made in the past four years and any I may make in the future.

To qualify for Gift Aid, I must pay as much UK income and/or captial gains tax as FOUR PAWS UK and the other organisaitons I support claims on my behalf in each tax year.

This is currently 25p on every £1 that I donate. If I pay less tax, I'm responsible for paying the difference. Gift Aid will help fund FOUR PAWS' general work. I can cancel this declaration at any time.
