Friend,

Imagine being trapped for over 20 years in a small, decaying cage—alone, mistreated, and deprived of freedom. This is the heartbreaking reality for Baloo, a 24-year-old bear confined to a ski resort in Romania. Over the past few years, his story has touched the hearts of countless compassionate people worldwide, inspiring a call to action for his freedom.

Unfortunately, Baloo is still trapped, and his health is continuing to deteriorate. Last month, our colleagues from the Netherlands, along with a bear expert, visited Baloo. And they revealed some alarming findings: Baloo is suffering from severe dental and joint issues, and there are strong signs he may also have diabetes.

These serious health concerns make it more urgent than ever to get him to a sanctuary where he can receive the proper care and attention he so desperately needs. And since his owner refuses to give him up, a legal intervention is our only path forward.

Thankfully, there’s hope . When you make a gift before midnight tonight, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $40,000. This means your generosity will go twice as far to help us continue the fight for Baloo’s freedom.

Your support [[link removed]] will also help many other animals suffering in similar conditions—trapped in cages, deprived of proper care, and denied the freedom they deserve. Your gift can help bring a future of healing to countless animals like Baloo who are waiting for a second chance at life.

Don’t miss this final opportunity to have your gift matched and make twice the difference for animals in need. [[link removed]]
Together, we can give Baloo and so many others the chance to have the life they deserve. T hank you for your support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Your World Animal Protection US Team
