Animals Asia has worked with a Vietnamese artist to create a beautiful, globally-relatable animation to highlight the urgent need to rescue the last bears on bile farms in Vietnam.
From flooding emergencies and threats of eviction to moving 101 bears safely home, Animals Asia has experienced some pretty dramatic challenges. But ending bear bile farming and rescuing every last bear on Vietnam’s bile farms is by far our biggest challenge yet…
The moon bear is a vulnerable and some argue endangered species. Bear bile farming is cited by the IUCN as one of the main causes for its rapid decline. Animals Asia is ending bear bile farming in Vietnam, reducing the demand for wild bears, and contributing to the conservation of the species.
Working alongside communities and authorities has been key to changing attitudes towards animals in Vietnam. As we enter the final stage of our campaign to end bear bile farming, discover just how important this approach will be for long-term and far-reaching change.
Dream Mischa Tebs was one of the lucky ones. Rescued by Animals Asia from a bile farm in 2011, she spent over a decade at our sanctuary in Vietnam. What happened to her and thousands like her is why we won’t stop until every cage on every bile farm is empty. This is her story.
Animals Asia is saving the Asiatic black bear in Vietnam by ending the industry that was pushing it to the edge of extinction. We just need your help to finish the job.
