http://www.peta.org/features/ben-the-bear-rescue.aspx?utm_campaign=0812%20Ben%20Bear%20Feature&utm_source=PETA%20E-Mail&utm_medium=Alert
I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you. After a long and hard-fought battle by PETA, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, and concerned local citizens, Ben the Bear has been rescued from abhorrent conditions at a North Carolina roadside zoo and will now live out his life at Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), a beautiful accredited wildlife sanctuary in northern California.
Now, Ben is thriving, enjoying acres of rolling hills, rubbing his back on trees, bathing and splashing in his pool, and napping in soft beds of natural foliage. Click here to learn more about Ben's journey from a roadside hellhole to a wildlife sanctuary.
Although PETA was able to rescue Ben, our work to save the other suffering animals who still languish in appalling conditions at Jambbas is not over. Click here to send an e-mail urging officials to revoke its license: https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=4279&autologin=true&utm_campaign=0812%20Jambbas%20Action%20Alert&utm_source=PETA%20E-Mail&utm_medium=Alert

Let's finally see this cruelty end for good. Thank you for your compassion!

PETA kills thousands of animals a year that they can't find homes for.
