Thanks, Scott Smith TCWR VP   Bam Bam Grizzly Bear   Turpentine Creek was contacted by a man from Oklahoma who had 9 tigers and 2 bears in need of homes. He was facing foreclosure and was ordered to be off the property by November 1st; his vehicles had already been repossessed and he had no money left to care for his animals.    On November 11th, TCWR staff members headed south to Ardmore, OK, and arrived at the man's property at around 6pm.  There were the two bears; Bam Bam, a 2-year-old grizzly bear, and Thunder, a 1-year-old black bear.  Both seemed healthy and were full of energy.  They were housed inside of a large barn where there were eight 10'x20' identical cages; all were well-constructed and clean.  The tigers had already been rescued, so the first 6 cages were empty and were being torn down and removed from the barn. It did feel like we got there to rescue the bears just in time.
