Uno spent 18 years on a bile farm... this is the moment he felt the sun for the first time ever

Two years ago Animals Asia rushed to rescue Uno, a male moon bear who had spent his entire life - 18 years - trapped in a tiny, rusty cage in a dark room.
The reason? For his bile to be extracted and sold for traditional medicine.
Today we're celebrating Uno's two-year rescue anniversary by re-sharing the touching moment he felt the warmth of the sun on his face for the very first time.
Enjoy this lovely film and if you would like to help us reach more bears like Uno who are still trapped on bile farms in Vietnam, please join us today: fal.cn/3sDWI

There are no words to express how angry I get when I watch those rescues...and those long, long years of confinement in those awful cages make me weep...And not only in Asia...Europe has a shocking history as well the way they abuse/ keep their bears....absolutely horrific stories...when will it all end?..? not in our lifetime...

[@lookingwithin7176]

That really touched me. The gentle cautious steps onto grass he'd never known before was sad but also beautiful as he is now free to live as he should ❤

[@HKAAF]

Yes, most of the bears we rescue have never seen grass before and they can be very cautious when stepping onto it for the first time ♥️

[@r3b3llion64]

God bless you all!

[@frankfreeman1444]

Would that be seeking a blessing from the same god that allowed this poor animal to be held in captivity for 18 years under terrible conditions but did nothing to help or grant relief? Oh yeah, his blessing will be of great impact and value!

[@rhiannonwest2465]

TU for saving Uno and the rest of the moon bears. My prayer is for there to be no more moon bears suffering, being teated so appallingly, and for them all to be free and feel the sun on their backs and the grass under their feet.
