Appalachian Wild Provides update to orphaned bear cub in care following being pulled from a tree in Asheville for photos.
“Unfortunately for us, this cub is only one of many animals that we rehabilitate due to the negative impacts of inappropriate human interactions. That is why this work is so important and valuable, so the public understands the harm that is caused by human interference and joins us in working to promote a healthier, more compassionate co-existence with wildlife.” ~Savannah Trantham, Executive Director
