Retailer Profi has donated to the Association Millions of Friends an ATV with a trailer, a vehicle that will facilitate the transport in the mountains of the two tons of food that more than 100 bears receive daily in Zarnesti, informs the company.
According to the managing director of the store network, Pawel Musial, quoted in the release, Profi helps foundations that protect dogs, cats and other stray animals in the cities, as well as foundations that feed and protect wild animals in Romania.
For her part, Cristina Lapis, President of the Association Million Friends, noted that the only hope that other animals will no longer live the ordeal of captivity is the education of the young generation who wants to live in harmony with nature.
"I understand that the only hope that other animals will no longer live the ordeal of captivity is the education of the young generation who wants to live in harmony with nature. Thousands of children visit the reserve every year to see the bears, to learn about animal protection, and Profi also supports us in this regard," Cristina Lapis stressed.
The moment was welcomed, on behalf of the international organization World Animal Protection, by actress Evanna Lynch, known as the character Luna in the Harry Potter films, but also by actress Brigitte Bardot.
In Romania, Profi has 1,321 stores in 592 localities and almost 21,000 employees.
