On
January 9th, six lucky moon bears arrived at Animals Asia's Bear Rescue Centre
in Chengdu -- the only sanctuary in China built to care for bears rescued from
the barbaric practice of bile farming. Battered and broken from their time on
an illegal bear farm, these bears are already starting to mend under the expert
care of Animals Asia's dedicated vet team.
And
while the nightmare is over for these six bears, across China more than 10,000
moon bears remain in tiny cages never feeling the sun on their backs or grass
under their feet.
They can be kept like this for up to 30 years. This cruel practice continues
despite the availability of many effective and affordable alternatives.
Animals
Asia applauds the Chinese Government for rescuing these six bears and closing
the illegal farm, but the suffering of 10,000 must be made a priority and a
firm date set when bear farming will end!
