Five bears formerly forced to travel the country with The Great Bear Show started new lives at the Keepers of the Wild Sanctuary in Arizona. The traveling act was once the most prolific bear show in the country, forcing these animals to perform tricks for crowds at fairs and hunting shows for years. The rescue came after a relentless PETA campaign targeting the show.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
