Bears remain in captivity in Europe - in private zoos, monasteries, guest houses, and outside restaurants, which sell bear meat on the menu.
We have visited, filmed and documented bears in captivity in Italy, Slovenia, Albania and Romania, where the level of care for the bears varies.
Here are our results. But we also want to know if we have missed any. Please email us at
bearsuncovered@gmail.com with any information.
We want to map all the bears in captivity in Europe, so we can understand the scale of this issue.
