捐款拯救從小被虐待的印度黑熊

當大家看到集千萬寵愛於一身的貓熊圓仔逗趣畫面而心生愉快時，請再看看上面這張圖，這隻小熊為何被這樣綁住口鼻虐待？那雙無辜可憐的眼神，怎不令人心痛！ 

幾百年來，印度、尼泊爾人會到森林裡抓剛出生的黑熊，然後在牠才幾週大的時候，用燒紅的鐵條貫穿牠的鼻口，那是多麼的痛苦？！然後用一條粗繩子穿過去綁住，再用鐵箍套住嘴巴，於是牠一輩子被人牽著在街上「跳舞」賺錢到死為止（有的則是從繁殖場一出生就是這樣命運）。印度野生物救援組織（WILDLIFE SOS INDIA）發起募捐，希望以每隻5萬盧比（約23,000-24,000台幣）牽回被人豢養的黑熊（主人必須簽字切結絕不再抓取、買賣或畜養黑熊），並在保育場恢復健康，甚至野放。

歐洲中世紀在許多地方就有跳舞熊（Dancing Bears）這種不人道的馬戲表演，至今一些地方如印度、尼泊爾、保加利亞、西伯利亞還有這樣的惡習，需要人們跨國界伸出援手，讓熊類解脫這樣的桎梏。

這些黑熊都是「亞洲黑熊」七個亞種的家族成員，與台灣黑熊是親戚。台灣黑熊在台灣據估計最多不到600隻，面臨棲地破壞、非法盜獵、獸鋏傷害等問題，是瀕臨絕種的台灣陸地上最大型的哺乳動物。我們關心台灣黑熊的存亡問題，也一併關心世界上其他熊族悲慘的命運。

要拯救這些印度、尼泊爾可憐的「跳舞」黑熊，您可點網站https://www.crowdrise.com/Savebearcubs瞭解，也可先看底下影片。
