LunaBears Picnic

LunaBears 2011
This is our 4th year running! We meet once a year in October to raise funds for Free the Bears Foundation.

There are still over 10,000 bears that need to be cared for. These Moon Bears, Sun Bears and Asiactic Bears are farmed for their bile, kept in restrictive cages, some dont ever get to see the Sun light.

At this stage there are 35 of us in the LunaBears club in Victoria alone. We raised $1,000 this year, not bad for a humble group of people committed to making a difference!

Together we support a Bear Sancutary in Laos and currently sponsoring 3 Bears. Lom and Fa are male Moon Bears and Dinh is a female Moon Bear. The names mean Earth, Sky and Sea. They were all rescued together and brought to the Laos Sancutary four years ago around the time we started the LunBears club.
