The photos that show bears can enjoy new lives after bile farms

04 May 2015

Happy #MoonBearMonday!

Animals Asia was delighted to welcome wildlife photographer Peter Yuen to our Vietnam sanctuary and give him unprecedented access to the 112 rescued bears living peaceful lives on site.

Peter’s shots never fail to capture the essence of his subject and so he proved again with these magnificent shots of some of the sanctuary’s big-hearted characters.

Can bears ever really shake off the years they’ve spent in bile farms?  Look into the faces of these beautiful bears and you can be the judge.
