Abused circus bear rescued and living happily
Abused circus bear rescued and living happily

This is Cholita, a bear who was abused for years in a Peruvian circus - so badly that she lost all of her hair.
She was eventually rescued but spent years in a zoo after being nursed back to health.
Now, however, she's living in the lap of luxury.
Animal Defenders International (ADI) rescued Cholita and provided her with an enclosure in a forest, where she's safe and secure.
