Seventeen bears have been rescued from what would have been a life sentence in miserable concrete pits in Helen, Georgia.

According to PETA, they’re now roaming acres of natural habitat at The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado, where they are already rolling in the grass, racing around their fields, and enjoying relative freedom and fresh mountain air in a stunning 60-acre habitat.

The move was the result of a collaborative effort between PETA, PETA patron and The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon, The Wild Animal Sanctuary, and the Atlanta Humane Society.

I have very mixed feelings about PETA. But I’m glad those bears are out of those pits.
