- You are saddened and angered to learn that this cruel practice is still going on in Pakistan
- You understand that the 1890 Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act makes this practice illegal but this is either enforced very weakly or not at all
- The endangered and vulnerable bears used in these events are illegally poached from the wild
- You understand that all animal cruelty is against the teachings of the Muslim religion
- The Pakistan Bioresource Research Centre is doing valuable work to end the suffering of the bears but need the support and assistance of the authorities and local and national governments.
- Ask for your concerns to be conveyed to the government of Pakistan and ask that they crack down on these events and give serious consideration to new legislation to outlaw the keeping of captive bears and their use in bear-baiting events.
