Black Bears Arrival from Arkansas - 1999 PDF Print E-mail

August 1999: Crombie and Fitch, two 2-year-old black bears, were seized by the USDA and the Sheriff's Department. They were then placed in the custody of the Wild Animal Orphanage after living in horrible conditions for years. W.S.P.A. kindly covered the cost of transport for these little guys.
