Last dancing bears liberated in Nepal

Just a shoutout to this great blog livekindly.

A rescue operation in Nepal put an end to the terrible dance life of two lip bears. The two dancing bears were rescued last week by the Jane Goodall Institute, in collaboration with the Nepalese police and World Animal Protection.  Bears Rangila (19 years old) and Sridevi (17 years old), like many other wild animals in entertainment, were taken from the wild at a young age and sold as dancing bears. Keeping dancing bears is illegal; the bears are forced to dance for the amusement of people. Fortunately, these illegal practices full of animal suffering have now come to an end in Nepal.

To keep the animals in control, both bears had a rope through their nose. For this purpose, a hole is made in the nose with a hot rod, after which a piece of rope is pulled through the hole. Then the bears are cruelly trained so that they become submissive and dance to the public.

Rangila and Sridevi were found with the help of local police and GPS tracking in Nepalese Iharbari. Saving the bears was an emotional event; the animals were in very miserable conditions and clearly showed signs of psychological trauma. Both bears are now on their way to the 'Amlekhguni Forest and Wildlife Reserve', where they stay temporarily to recover. The bears were, as far as we know, the last two illegal dancing bears in Nepal. According to wildlife expert Neil D'Cruze of World Animal Protection, Rangira and Sridevi have had to suffer for a long time in captivity: "It is extremely worrying to see that animals are being torn from the wild for amusement. It is the harsh reality that many more wild animals in the world suffer for the amusement of tourists. I am glad that for these bears a happy ending is in sight. " Manoj Gautam of the Jane Goodall Institute is also pleased that the last two Nepalese dancing bears have been saved from a life full of suffering: "After we have tracked these bears for a year, we have been able to put an end to this illegal tradition in Nepal thanks to our dedication and cooperation with the local police."

For the second time in history, scientists are transmitting communications to extraterrestrials.

Image
NASA scientists hope to communicate with extraterrestrials. They've drafted a message that they want to launch into space soon. That message is more than a simple 'hi, how are you?' The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible. "The message incorporates basic mathematical and physical ideas to construct a universal means of communication, followed by information regarding the biochemical makeup of life on Earth," said Jonathan Jiang, the primary author. The so-called Beacon In The Galaxy (BITG) is written in binary code and concludes with a digital image of a man and a woman, as well as an invitation to reply. It's delivered from China's FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), the world's largest radio telescope. This is only the second time a message like this has been sent into space. This happened for the first time in 1974. Not everyone, incidentally, is ecstatic. Experts are concerned th...
