Black bears in general are hearty and resilient animals whose population can remain stable even in habitat where land may not be fertile. Tragically, illegal trade and exploitation plagues bears and other animals all over the world. Four Paws International is one of the leading organizations fighting the misuse of wildlife. We chose to donate to Four Paws Int. through our clothing collection: Team Black Bear (My favorite collection thus far -Bryce, Owner of Project Endangered).
Why Purchase From Team Black Bear?
Purchasing a cozy sweatshirt or a cotton t-shirt from Team Black Bear ensures that 10% of proceeds are donated to Four Paws. Donations help protect Asiatic black bears across East Asia. Asiatic black bears are kept for bile extraction even though alternatives have been found. Help us to end the inhumane keeping of these animals.
What Does Four Paws Int. Do?
Four Paws helps end the exploitation many animals including bears, big cats, and horses. By setting up sanctuaries and leading campaigns, Four Paws rescues animals from horrible living conditions and provides them with an area where they can live a natural life. Efforts to save Asiatic black bears consists of locating kept bears in Vietnam and moving them to a sanctuary in Ninh Binh. Find out more on their website listed in our Team Black Bear Collection.
