Donate nowWith just 190 bears still captive, the chance to end Vietnam’s cruel bile farms is within reach.
Bear bile is big business. It’s used in traditional Asian medicine, and for luxury products including wine, soda and tonics.
Meet Cam, we discovered six-year old Cam on a routine monitoring trip. Unable to move around his tiny cage he was terribly thin and in constant pain. He had been subjected to years of the most horrific abuse, to feed the market in tradition medicine.
After the horrors he’s lived through on the farm it is wonderful to see Cam enjoying his new life in a sanctuary. He was nervous at first, but he soon came out of his shell. Now he’s playing with the other bears, foraging for his beloved peanuts and climbing trees – all the things a young bear should be doing.
With Cam now safe and well, there are just 190 bears remaining captive in Vietnams bile farms.
Through our intensive monitoring of bear bile farms, the dedication of the organisations we work with and our incredible supporters, since 2005 we’ve managed to rescue 96% of the bears trapped in bile farms in Vietnam.
We are so close to a bear bile free Vietnam. We can’t take our foot off the pedal now. It just shows what we can achieve together, none of this would be possible without support from people like you.
