R.I.P. little Naji

Hi everyone

I'm afraid we have some very sad news for you all. A couple of days ago, our beloved Moon Bear cub "Naji" died suddenly. We are all devastated here at "Beary Cheap" & we know many of you will be upset by this terrible news. Rather than try & explain the circumstances, below is a copy of the email received from Jill Robinson at the Moon Bear Sanctuary in Chengdu, China.

Cindy & Derek 5/07/2007

Read Jill Robinsons email

We have learned from the sanctuary that Naji was a very much loved resident. His playful antics made everyone smile & he will be greatly missed by those close to him - both his human companions & his bear playmates (especially his best friend "Peanut").

Raising the funds to sponsor this little bear was a mammoth effort & we will always be extremely grateful to each & every one of you who so generously donated. Even though very few of us had the privilege of actually meeting Naji, he will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Some of your emails.....

We've received hundreds of emails - all of which have been very touching. Thank you.

Here's just a small sample of the heartfelt messages we received from around the world...

Dear Cindy and Derek, How many tears have been shed today at the sad loss of the beautiful bear we have all come to love.

My heart goes out to all the people at the Moon Bear Sanctuary who were so close to him and the wider community in the 'Bear World'.

With love and hugs to you all, Gwendoline.

Hi Cindy and Derek, There aren't any words that can be used at this time, and the drought has been broken with our tears.

Kind regards, Trish

I can't express the sadness I feel over the devastating news of Naji's death. Many of us in the United States have eagerly read the updates and

had been so happy for his new life. It was another step forward in saving these precious bears. There seems to be nothing more that can be said.

Thank you for keeping us informed. Regards, Cathy

Absolutely devastating I am so upset the tears are flowing, but we

must remember we did give him happiness and a good time for a little while

and he was happy, he had plenty of friends and fresh air, we will just have to start again. Gillian NZ

Dear Cindy and Derek, Thanks for letting me, one of your customers know about the tragic loss of Naji.

What a terrible accident for him and just awful for all those staff who loved him. It's a sad, sad time for all but he was a sweet bear loved obviously by all those who came in contact with him and touched their lives in a special way. It is never easy to lose a loved animal no matter what the circumstances are. But he died in a loving environment not in a cage in agony while people around him made money doing terrible things to him. He was a lucky bear to be rescued and hopefully the team at chengdu can go on and save many more bears and give them

a happier and more positive future. Kathy M

Hi Cindy and Derek, Just a short note to say thanks so much for sending me the email of the deverstating news of Little Naji.

What a great loss. I cried when I read the email. He will be in our hearts for ever. Thanks so much again and keep up the good work

you are both fantastic for what you do. Cheers Kali

Blessings your customer, Michele Seraphim
