Laska is about 5 year old brown bear and arrived in the BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr on February 2019. Before that, female bear Laska had been kept in a private yard near Kyiv and has been abused as baiting object for several months. Then Laska lived for years in unacceptable conditions in the run-down Pokrovsk Zoo near the town of Donetsk. In Pokrovsk she was placed in a small cage, around there were bears because of what she was stressed, fought to the cage, stereotyped.

Now she wouldn’t let anybody come close to her. In the BEAR SANCTUARY Domazhyr Laska has a new change, qualified care and hopefully she will learns to trust humans.

Her favourite food are vegetarian: nuts, pears, apples, salads and fish.
