Het Natuurhulpcentrum van Opglabbeek ontfermt zich sinds kort over twee bruine beren. Broer en zus, Henk en Eso genaamd, werden opgehaald in Albanië. Daar leefden de dieren in erbarmelijke toestanden in een kooi op het domein van een hotel. "Bedoeld voor entertainment, zoals op meerdere plaatsen in Oost-Europese landen gebeurt", klinkt het bij het centrum.
"Deze twee beren werden in de bergen van Albanië geboren, maar ze werden als welp uit de natuur geroofd. Jagers schoten hun moeder dood. Intussen zaten ze al bijna drie jaar gewoon in een kooi, kregen ze weinig eten en dronken ze regenwater. Na een reis van 3.367 km mochten we Henk en Eso verwelkomen in het Natuurhulpcentrum." Toen het Natuurhulpcentrum het hartverscheurende verhaal van Henk en Eso te horen kreeg, schoten ze in actie. Een gespecialiseerde transporteur bracht de dieren van Albanië naar Opglabbeek, een tocht van 3.367 km waarbij negen landen werden doorkruist. "Henk en Eso verblijven nu in onze quarantaine. Op die manier kan onze dierenarts de beren beter opvolgen want beide dieren zijn nog steeds erg mager en in slechte toestand. We zullen er nu alles aan doen om ze er terug bovenop te krijgen én om hen een rooskleurige toekomst te bieden in een mooie dierentuin of gespecialiseerde opvang." (GBO/MMM)

Moon's a Harsh Mistress..Blame It On The Moon
Moon's a Harsh Mistress
See her how she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
And the moon's a harsh mistress
It's so hard to love her well
I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face
Yes, I did, and I - I tripped and I missed my star
God, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
And the moon's a harsh mistress
And the sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own.

Blame It On The Moon
Gonna blame it on the moon,
Didn't want to fall in love again so soon.
I was fine, feeling strong,
Didn't want to fall in love with anyone.
Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt,
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault;
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon.
I was happy to be free
Didn't think I'd give myself so easily.
Guilty feelings in the night
As I wonder is it wrong to feel so right.
Now that it's gone too far to call for a halt,
I'll blame it on the moon
'Cause it's not my fault;
I didn't think that this would happen so soon
So I'll blame it on the moon.
