Arriving at the bile farm on Tuesday, we were given permission to remove
the last two bears from the farm. Our negotiations with the help of the
Vietnam Forestry Department, included terms that the bears would NOT be
replaced, and the bile farm would close - forever.
And then we saw them…
Thanks to your incredible kindness and support, the two bears we appealed
to you about just a few days ago, have been rescued and are in the care of
our emergency response team.
Meet Bazan and Wendles, new names to begin their new lives. Thank you so
much!
Both bears had lived in these cages since they were cubs
Arriving at the bile farm on Tuesday, we were given permission to remove
the last two bears from the farm. Our negotiations with the help of the
Vietnam Forestry Department, included terms that the bears would NOT be
replaced, and the bile farm would close - forever.
And then we saw them…
Two sets of frightened eyes peering at us through the bars, their heads
bowed, trying to make themselves invisible. To these long-abused bears,
humans meant only one thing… pain.
They’d been in these cages their whole lives, and we didn’t waste a second
to break them out of those dark and dirty cells.
Bazan enjoyed her first ever taste of watermelon. Just imagine how sweet that
tastes after years of sloppy gruel!
Wendles smiling already as she climbs abroad the rescue cage
Our brave little survivors are on the rescue trucks home right now and
we’ll arrive back at the sanctuary tomorrow. And then the hard work will
really start…
A rescue is just the beginning of many weeks and months of intensive
veterinary care and rehabilitation for this sweet pair, and the costs of
this, not to mention a lifetime of care, are formidable…
Please, if you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, could you send a gift
today? It could help so much to soothe their pain, and heal the wounds of
the past.
