Join us as we rescue the first bears to our new sanctuary!

Join Animals Asia on this historic day as we rescue the first two bears to our new sanctuary in Vietnam!
We have nicknamed the bears Buzz and Armstrong after the first humans to step foot on the moon. These moon bears will be the first to step paws onto the soft ground at our new sanctuary in Bach Ma, northern Vietnam.
They have suffered terribly on bile farms for nearly two decades, but today we're bringing them home where they will be loved and cared for for the rest of their lives.
The Bach Ma sanctuary signals the end of bear bile farming in Vietnam. After decades of campaigning and rescuing over 670 bears, Animals Asia is now working with the Vietnam government to rescue the last few hundred that remain on bile farms across the country.
What happens next?
The bears and team will travel to our new sanctuary in Bach Ma, Vietnam. It will take between one - two days, depending on weather and traffic.
Buzz and Armstrong will spend around 30 days in quarantine which is mandatory for every new arrival at sanctuary.
In quarantine our vets and bear care team will assess the bears' physical and mental health and build up their trust and confidence in their new carers and their new surroundings.
We will keep you updated on their progress over the coming days and weeks. Thank you for joining us and helping us bring these two precious bears home.

NOBODY can think this suffering is acceptable , you don't need to be an animal lover to see how wrong it is; just a decent human being

[@Globalgrasshopper]

So true, I always thought it was one of the cruellest things you can do to another living being :(

[@user-uc4yv8zj2l]

Thank you sooooo much for the care you're providing for these beautiful animals! My heart is so full right now watching this process knowing these bears will spend the rest of their lives no longer suffering but being loved and cared for !!

[@MA_808]

Big International businesses doing business in Asia must be pushed through pressure and boycotts to give to these efforts to save the bears and end torture of bears and all animals throughout Asia. Companies that fall into this category are Apple, Nike, Samsung, Ali Baba, Google, Honda, Nissan, Hilton, and so many more! We must put pressure on these robber baron businesses who are enabling these practices to continue just to appease their business shareholders.

[@cynthiamgentles6781]

How do those companies create demand for bear bile, for example Google?

[@elainereynolds7701]

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO... YOU ARE SAVING BEAUTIFUL INNOCENCE.

[@Hatchetforce]

Wow so glad to see this finally happen for these 2 abused but wonderful denizens. I hope they find some life in the time they have left. Thank you.

[@TangoCat303]

Much love to you wonderful humanitarians and the beautiful creatures you rescue. Thank you for your heroic work.

[@paulinegallagher7821]

Im heartbroken for them. Please let them enjoy the rest of their lives.

[@catherineconway8256]

❤️Shocking absolutely shocking how mankind can be so vile and cruel towards Gods creatures. It’s very hard to watch videos like this and I hope and pray that these poor bears live the rest of their lives being happy and cared for and all the freedom to roam and be free and feel the grass beneath their paws !!! Let’s hope there will be more rescues of captured abused animals and there will be no more suffering from mankind !!! Well done all of you and God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@polarberri]

Thank you for all that you do. This was amazing to see. My heart is full of both sadness and hope.

Thank you for your endeavours for rescue these beautiful animals and to rehabilitate them and introduce them to a better environment for the rest of their precious lives.

Thanks Karen. Jill Robinson started the charity 25 years ago after visiting a bear bile farm. She decided to dedicate her life to ending the practice, and now we're on the cusp of ending it in Vietnam forever: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZWug2icjtSapLc ❤
