Today is a good day to celebrate bears. Yesterday (30 April) was Animal Advocacy Day, set apart to honor those who advocate for animals, particularly combating abuse and cruelty. I also strongly support many efforts in the areas of animal rights, including respect for bears and other creatures to live safely in their natural habitats. Among my childhood memories are visits to some "dancing bear shows" as tourist attractions in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It seemed fun at that time, but it was pure exploitation. We now support animal protection/preservation organizations like the World Wildlife Federation and the Primate Rescue Center.
