Ooops, I am sorry I was quite sure I had already commented on this nice publication . . . but may be – I remember far behind in my memory – my intention was to give somebody else (who was e.g. more involved and engaged in the ‘ORSA-Affair’ than myself) the advantage to comment FIRST.

I agree: Johanna Berglund and Linnea Andersson deserve a big THANK YOU that they have got the energy and lots of love towards ‘their’ animals, as they are able to gon on in an atmotsphere among humans of surrender and/or lack of interest in saving a good environment and life for so many animals and also for the joy (and education!) of many visitors.

Also a big THANK YOU to you, dear Mervi, that also you still stick to optimism or rather last hope in what is concerned ‘ORSA’ and also your own three ‘publication babys’. Thanks for still having this chance to keep in contact (at least on a virtual basis) with so many animals and their friends we were as lucky as to get acquinted with already many years ago . . .

Good Luck! and Best Wishes to everyone who is still active (animals and humans!) in the ‘ORSA Raubtierpark’***

Dear Mervi,
dear Johanna & Linnea,

I am deeply touched with how much love and beautiful ideas the birthday party in Orsa was celebrated! Probably there was also a lot of melancholy among the keepers because they don’t know how long the bears will be in their care and therefore we are also very sad despite the beautiful photos.
Therefore, I also wish them good luck from the bottom of my heart when they will have to end their work at Orsa Zoo someday.

Deear Mervi, this birthday party prepared by the keepers is on the one hand heart warming. The bears do clearly enjoy it. But on the other hand, it is heart breaking for the keepers because they know the entire background story. I bow my head for them.

Mervi this touching and beautifully illustrated photo is still very sad to read as it shows four beautiful polar bears who are having to give up their home for no good reason.

Dear Mervi, thank you very much for this wonderful report by Johanna Berglund. The photos by Linnea Andersson are wonderful.
The keepers have put a lot of effort into preparing a great party for the bears. The presents are great and the cakes too, of course. I especially like that the keepers were part of the party and prepared a birthday table for themselves in the polar world.

Dear Mervi!
What a beautiful and loving birthday surprise for the bears in Orsa! That must have been a great party and a joy for the keepers to watch their beloved polar bears.
I was very touched by the wonderful pictures and I think it’s great that the keepers showed so much love to their protégés one more time.
It is heartbreaking that it is not going on in Orsa!
A big thank you to the keepers, love and all the best for the future, also for the animals!

Hugs
Anke

It must have been great for the keeper team to see what happened to their presents and cakes.
I certainly thought it was a great party!
Thank you for the wonderful report.
