"........The goal of that particular night was to raise
$1,000, which is what it costs to take a bear off of the
streets of India. At the Black Diamond Café in
Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, they took in $1,300 in
three hours. To honor a donor who rescues a bear
from a life of torture, the rescuer is asked to name the
bear; in January, “Diamond,” a three week old cub,
was rescued from poachers and brought to the
sanctuary."
