Bear care
Every bear rescued by Animals Asia begins a new life the moment they arrive at sanctuary. Some are terrified cubs; others come from bile farms or circuses, carrying physical and emotional scars from years of mistreatment.
These bears are individuals, with distinct personalities, histories, and needs. That’s why we tailor every aspect of their care – from medical treatment to socialisation – to give them the best chance of healing and thriving.
