The Dancing Bears Petition!

Dear President Bush,

We the undersigned implore you to take action immediately to help save the Sloth bears in India!

In India, young Sloth cubs are taken from their mothers and their front teeth are removed. They are forced to dance and they are malnourished because of their missing teeth.

Please, they need your help.
