Serbia - Buddy full of Bullet Holes

Interpretation
In Western Europe, the bear is only seen in the zoo or as a heraldic sign. There are none left in the wild. When and why did the bears disappear?

My work offers one of several possible answers. Bears were different, and we didn't love them at the time. Now that the bears are made of plush or polyester, people have found love for them. Sadly, numerous plant and animal species disappear each day.
With us, in the Balkans, bears roam freely around the woods.

What is happening to us human beings, our different cultures, our different societal structures? Do we tolerate each other?
