Jeanie remembered:
An ambassador for bears

Some beings leave lasting impressions in our hearts; Jeanie was one of those extraordinary bears who will be forever remembered as an ambassador for her kind.

She allowed us to share her life; bringing joy to all those who were privileged to spend time in her company. Jeanie taught us about patience, tolerance and the depth of mother-love. She showed us that bears have unique emotions, quirks and personalities, and that perhaps we are more similar to bears than we thought.

Jeanie was killed on October 20th, 2011 as a result of preventable conflict with people. She will truly be missed. RIP beautiful girl.
