Four moon bears from bile farms in Vietnam are on their way to a better life after being rescued by animal welfare charity Animals Asia.
Live updates of mass evacuation of bears from bile farms in Vietnam's Quang Ninh province. At least 14 will be freed.
The Yulin dog meat festival is going ahead. It is not officially sanctioned by the authorities - so what is taking place is essentially an unofficial gathering of dog meat eaters.
Animals Asia will begin the mass evacuation of captive bears from Vietnam’s Quang Ninh province – on Tuesday 23rd June, with at least 14 bears to be freed from the illegal bile trade.
Playful moon bear Holly just loves to hang around in the bear sanctuary - so much so that at times she can hardly get up off her back!
With the Yulin dog meat festival about to take place, there has never been greater interest in the issue of dog meat eating in China.
Rescued from the cage that held him for ten years Bern steps out into the light – sniffing the sanctuary smells and blinking in the sunlight.
As 70,000 international animal lovers add their names to our campaign against Yulin, our team in China is resolved to ending the event and the wider dog meat trade.
