Farewell to Bruno, the last bear of the former Carviglia zoo, in Tuscany. The brown bear he was 36 years old, his health conditions had worsened a lot lately, hence the decision to resort to euthanasia.
For years his home was a sad cage, between concrete walls and a few trees. L'siberian bear he was born to two bears from Tallin. For a long time animal advocates have fought for defend Bruno as a symbol of all the bears found in zoos, away from their natural habitat, only to become attractions for visitors and tourists.
The decision to practice euthanasia was made by the veterinarians who assisted Bruno. L'euthanasia it was chosen to avoid therapeutic persistence and further suffering and respecting the dignity of the bear. Bruno at the time of his death was in the same wood where he was born.
Leal, the Anti-Revolutionist League, wanted to address a greeting to the brown bear, that now he is finally 'free'. Thanks to Bruno, a zoo has been closed and many animals have come out of their cages.

“Hi Bruno. You are free now. You leave as a winner. Thanks to you, a zoo is closed and many animals have come out of their cages. Your story, which has touched many hearts, will remain in the memory of those who knew you and of those who fight so that animals are no longer unnecessarily locked up in zoos. We thank you for giving us the privilege of traveling a stretch of life in your company. In your name we will carry forward our idea of freedom and free animals. We will not forget you ”.
