Sometimes we get suckered into giving money to a good cause, by something like baby bears needing milk and blankets.  I mean, how can you not help them?  They are effing baby bears, for Pete’s sake.
Anyway, you can help them too.  They are also Russian, so they’re like, “Please, vee need ‘elp.  Von’t you please ‘elp us?”  We got your backs, little buddies.
Here’s the info about them, below, and click here to find out how to help.
“IFAW’s Russian Bear Center is caring for six orphaned baby bears, and they need your help to raise them.The bears arrived in two batches. The first batch was found by hikers after the mother was scared away from her den.The second batch was orphaned after hunters roused their mother from hibernation and killed her. The hunters then brought the cubs to the Center.There’s no substitute for a mother’s love, but with your help, we’re hopeful that we can raise the bears and someday release them back to the wild.You can help raise these baby bears.Your gift will ensure that these baby bears have enough of the highly nourishing formula milk they need to grow strong…it will purchase warming blankets that mimic their mother’s body warmth…it will provide vital medicine the bears need to survive…and it will help IFAW rescue and care for even more animals. IFAW’s Russian Bear Center caregivers are the world’s foremost experts in raising and releasing baby bears. More than 150 bears have been successfully released into the wild protected forests in the Tver region in the past few years.And now these six bears are beginning their journey to freedom. But they have a long road ahead.”
