Adhvithi Shetty and Ashwithi Shetty who are sisters visited the Wildlife SOS Bannerghatta Bear Rescue Centre in Bannerghatta Biological Park to extend their support and spread awareness about sloth bear conservation.
Last Saturday, the duo spent a day at the centre and were given a tour of the facility, where they participated in a lot of activities as well.
They also engaged in an interactive session with the NGO’s veterinarians and staff who talked about the painful history of abuse and cruelty inflicted upon the dancing’ bears and the organization’s efforts to help these animals have a better, healthier future. The visit ended with the sister duo pledging their support to the Refuse To Ride campaign of Wildlife SOS, which aims to end riding elephants for tourism purposes.
Adhvithi Shetty says, “It is such a pleasure to be at the Bannerghatta Bear Rescue Centre because it is an excellent initiative by Wildlife SOS. There are about 64 bears who have been rescued by the organization and
looked after very well by the organization. I even appeal to individual to do their bit in rehabilitating sloth bears.”
