WISCONSIN: A Wisconsin family rescued a swimming bear after they found it was struggling with a plastic jar stuck on its head in the middle of the Marshmille­r Lake near Bloomer.

Brian, Tricia and Brady Hurt were fishing in Northern Wisconsin when they spotted this bear with a plastic container stuck over his head.

The distressed bear could hardly keep its head above water as it struggled to free its head from the plastic container. Tricia Hurt filmed the video as her husband try to rescue the struggling bear for life.

After several attempts finally getting close to it the plastic container was removed off his head and the family screamed with joy.

“You saved our little bear. Swim happy,” said Tricia Hurt at the end of the clip.

Brian Hurt told local media, “Once I got it off you could really tell the difference, because, it was like, it could get proper air at that point.”

After their help the bear swam back to the shore safely. This is a result of how humans impact the watery habitat.

More than 70% of marine life gets affected due to the water pollution. The plastic and other toxic substances dumped into the water pose a threat to marine life. It has a deadly effect on the wildlife.

Our ocean and the array of species that call it home succumbing to the poison of plastic.

Few years ago, farming wasn’t seen as a career option for young people. It was something older people do or those less educated.

However, things are slowly changing for young generation of Italians. 23-year-old Vanessa Peduzzi is one of a lot of young Italians that has ditched the fast life of clubbing and partying to dedicate her time to growing her farm.

“It’s a tiring, demanding job, but I like it,” she told media as she walked through the wood-lined pastures high above Lake Como in northern Italy to show off the building she is slowly restoring and transformi­ng into a farmhouse.

A chef by training, Peduzzi has put her apron aside to tend to animals. “I chose this life. This is where I want to be, surrounded by nature and animals,” she said.

The young animal breeder owns 20 donkeys with 15 out of them being pregnant. She also has 10 cows, five calves and five heifers. “I started last year with two little donkeys. I didn’t have any land or a stable, so I had a friend lend me a meadow,” she said. In the last five years, there has been a 12 percent rise in the number of people under 35 at the helm of agricultur­al businesses in Italy, mentioned Italy’s agricultur­al union.
