It’s well known that the moon bears at our sanctuaries love playing with each other and can be very sociable. But sometimes their play behaviours can be so human-like that it takes us aback.
As Animals Asia and ACPA continue to battle the dog meat industry in Vietnam it’s worth remembering that while the popularity of eating dog is waning – the popularity of dogs as companions has never been higher.
While this year’s Nem Thuong pig slaughter festival in Vietnam looks likely to go ahead – it does so against the backdrop of a country demanding animal welfare change.
When we saw this secretly filmed footage of sun bear cub Layla foraging in her enclosure, we couldn’t help but take a break from the usual #moonbearmonday.
With Tet break starting this weekend – it means a frustrating delay in the campaign to have a reported 23 bears released from bile farms in Vietnam’s Halong Bay.
Animals Asia is advising those celebrating the lunar New Year not to be lured by traders using goats to promote their business.
The fight to save 23 moon bears in Halong Bay has been boosted with 12 ambassadors signing a letter to the Vietnam’s Prime Minister urging action.
For those with the qualifications and the compassion, volunteering at Animals Asia’s Chengdu Bear Rescue Centre can be the experience of a lifetime. Cara Wilcox volunteered with us in 2013 and has been kind enough to share some of her most treasured memories.
