Soni is the little bear from Saint Ana lake that became a real toursistic attraction of the area. A few days ago, he seems to have attacked a woman that tried to take a selfie with him. His fate was in the hands of the authorities, who decided that the bear cub should reach the Libearty sanctuary instead of being shot. When we reached the Saint Ana lake, the poor bear was being harrassed by tens of toursits who were trying to record him or take a photo with him. Only the intervention of the gendarmesmade them leave, unhappy.
Only after the authorities managed to „evacuate“ the audience, Soni was tranquilized safely. He went through a medical control and then he was taken to the Millions of Friends’ van, for the ride that was going to lead him to the sanctuary.
„We will call you Emil!“, said Cristina Lapis, AMP’s president, when the bear arrived in the sanctuary.
„People should understand that the bear is a wild animal. I am sure that people love the bears, so they want to take a selfie, not because they are mean. But we should think, because we can, that we destroy the life of a wild animal, forever“, added Cristina Lapis.
After a shor period of time in the quarantine area, Emil will meet the bears in the juniors' enclosure.
Help Emil (formerly known as Soni) and the other juniors!
