Appeal for Vietnam's bears
In September 2007, 80 bears in Vietnam were identified for confiscation into the care of Animals Asia Foundation. In the intervening two years, and despite constant urging from Animals Asia, the Vietnam government has released only ONE bear into our care at our sanctuary in Tam Dao National Park.
The remaining 79 bears are still confined to their cages, in the hands of the same owners who have used and abused them for many years.
They remain with owners who continue to:
- extract bile, openly flouting Vietnam laws prohibiting the practice
- break both national and international law by selling bile to tourists who transport it overseas
- cause the bears horrendous fear, suffering and pain on a daily basis in the extraction process
And still, the Vietnam government refuses to implement its own laws. It refuses to act to save these bears from deprivation, starvation and agonizing death from disease and despair.
Join our letter-writing campaign now and help urge the Vietnamese government to honour its commitment to end bear bile farming in Vietnam.
