I do not think that they needs funds because these rescue were made by the Govt. & this is the Govt. responsibility being an scheduled one animal as per law of the land - WILD LIFE PROTECTION ACT, 1972 not by a NGO as they have sufficient funds.

O I just went to the site and read about the "dancing" bears and it made me cry. If people would stop watching those freaks who do this and giving them money- they'd have no more reason to do this anymore. And if their government would punish these sadistic freaks there'd be another reason to not do it.
