Prerna
Salim
Miya owned Prerna who is a relatively young bear and kept her better fed
than the others in his village. Prerna has a magnificent coat of long
hair and is a natural beauty who knows she can charm every visitor and
the keepers. Her claws are unusually long and curved but thankfully she
has a docile temperament and does everything slowly and majestically.
It is no wonder our field worker and manager at the Bhopal Rescue facility
decided to give her the name “Prerna” after herself. Prerna has had her
nose ropes removed and except for the
broken canines and root canal surgery that will be needed later she has
no serious muzzle injuries. She has started her tonics for liver toning
and vitamin therapy and the prophylactic treatment against tuberculosis.
Prerna is the reason why we started this rescue centre that bears like
her should have a chance to lead healthy and relatively free lives in
as close to natural surroundings as possible.
