Animal activists are working to relocate two blind, alcoholic bears held in captivity in Russia to a rehabilitation facility in Romania, where experts will treat their ailments and dependency on alcohol. The bears have been held for more than 20 years in a small, garbage-strewn cage outside of a Georgian restaurant. The restaurant’s owner allowed patrons to feed the bears and give them alcoholic beverages. A Russian court has ordered the bears’ release, which will take place in March.
