Kartick satyanarayan biography of albert

Once a source of endless joy, few were aware of what the ‘dancing bear’ went through.

Baby bears would be forcibly taken from their mothers, a rope put through their nose, pulling which would cause pain and force them to obey the owner’s command. It took Kartick Satyanarayan and his team at Wildlife SOS 20 years to completely eradicate the practice.

Seeing the plight of the bears, Kartick founded Wildlife SOS in 1995 with Geeta Seshamani, who had a long association with animal shelter Friendicoes.

Today, it runs several projects to support bear conservation in India, including the world’s largest rehabilitation centre for sloth bears in Agra.

“The ‘dancing bear’ trade,” says Kartick, “happened in the Kalandar community. The work was largely out of compulsion, ignorance about laws and lack of opportunities. They had no other means of living.”
