There are some really inspiring people around in the animal world.

Free the Bears rescue sun and moon bears from the most dreadful conditions and look after them in their sanctuaries in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.  You may have seen the charity on the programme Bears About the House on BBC2 with Giles Clark back in 2020. 

In 2020, the coronavirus put an abrupt halt to any of the normal fundraising activities the charity undertakes to raise funds to care for the bears.  So they asked bear lovers around the world to help raise funds by spending a night in a cage!

51 bear lovers took part - and the amazing thing is that they raised enough funds to pay for the care of 240 rescued bears for two months by spending a night in a cage!

So on 14 May 2022 (or any night in May), they are asking us to raise funds and awareness for the bears by spending a #Nightinacage.
