Our Big Bear Family
MANY parents struggle to maintain discipline in their home. But spare a thought for Jim and Susan Kowalczik whose main charge is a huge 1400lb Kodiak brown bear. The couple look after the 9ft giant at their orphanage where they have dedicated their lives to rescuing and releasing injured animals. They now care for 11 bears, including Kodiak brown bears, Syrian bears and black bears on their 100 acre estate in Otisville, New York. Most were rescued as cubs from breeding programs or nature reserves that closed down. What did you think of this couple and their bears?

That is a great thing that they are doing. Good folks. I would like to donate something toward their food bills.

Beautiful heart warming story. Where do they get all the food for these animal’s, it’s got to be costly are they subsidized by anyone?

Beautiful creatures, you can feel the mutual love between the bears and them. Not a life for everyone, but am sure you will consider your lives well lived.

How do they make the money to afford all this?

Miraculous – Jim, Susan and all the bears; miraculous all.

What they are doing for those bears is great but my concern is what is going to happen to their “children” when “Mom and Dad” are gone for good?
