A new home for rescued bile bears

Even though the production of bear bile and the trade of bear products is forbidden by law in Vietnam, bear bile farming and illegal bile extraction still exists.

The Vietnamese government has taken firm legislative steps to end bear farming in Vietnam, however, there are still approximately 400 so-called “bile bears” – mainly Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) – living under poor conditions on around 130 bear farms (as of March 2020). These animals suffer in tiny metal cages, spending their days in a vegetated state, half-starved and dehydrated.

With the newly built BEAR SANCTUARY Ninh Binh, FOUR PAWS aims to significantly contribute to ending bear farming in Vietnam. The sanctuary allows the government greater enforcement of existing laws prohibiting the abuse of bears for bile extraction, by providing a place for any confiscated, or voluntarily handed over bears to be taken in and cared for appropriately.

The sanctuary offers a safe and appropriate accommodation for up to 44 bears. Currently, the sanctuary is under enlargement and will soon have more space.

Furthermore, the sanctuary facilitates:

A natural habitat for the bears to recover from their cruel and unjust living conditions
Quarantine station which looks after the new arrivals
Veterinary station to take care of the vulnerable bears
Bear catering facility to feed the malnourished bears.

In accordance with the Vietnamese authorities, the sanctuary houses and takes care of confiscated and voluntary handed over bears.

Till now we have succeeded in rescuing over 30 vulnerable bears. Your donation supports the project of expanding the sanctuary. Through this project, we strive to rescue many more bears in need of our help. Your donation will go a long way in ensuring a new, abuse-free life for bears in Vietnam.
