Bears’ home almost ready
Suzy, Carmen and Peggy will be rescued from a cramped holding centre in Belgium and are due to arrive at the West Lothian zoo on March 30.
The bears’ new home features a large built-in waterfall and stream, as well as indoor and outdoor enclosures. An £80,000 appeal, spearheaded by the zoo, is ongoing to raise the funds required to bring the bears to West Calder. Around £22,000 is still needed to transport and rehome them.
Five Sisters owner Brian Curran said: “Seeing the sanctuary almost complete makes it all the more real and we can’t wait to give them the new life that they deserve.”
