Forever in the dark but with the sun on their backs – the rescued bears who have lost their sight to bile farms still enjoy a high quality of life.
The bears – recently rescued from at least a decade of agony on a bear bile farm – are settling in well according to their new carers.
Thousands of animals in Indonesian zoos are suffering unsuitable conditions or are forced to perform for tourists – your vote can mean this cruelty is kept in the spotlight.
