In 2009 I created this website to help rescue a beautiful Moon Bear from its horrific life on a bear-bile farm. Like thousands of other Moon Bears across Asia, it was living a life of torture, imprisoned in a tiny cage and being regularly milked for its bile via extremely crude and unhygienic extraction methods. The extracted bile is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
In November 2009 I decided to do something more substantial so I committed to the rescue and ongoing care of one of Animals Asia's bears. I set up Adoptamoonbear.com and, in just over twelve months, with the help of many people like you, raised the required $14,500 to assist Animals Asia rescue and begin the rehabilitation of a lovely young male bear in Vietnam.
FIVE bears are moving closer to their first steps on grass after being rescued from bile-farms in April and May. They have finished their quarantine period at Animals Asia’s Vietnam sanctuary and are now getting used to their inside sleeping dens. After that…. the Great Outdoors awaits them!

Hi everyone! Happy New Year from your favourite bear!
I’m already celebrating my last TEN happy years with Animals Asia, living at their wonderful sanctuary in Vietnam. And now I’m starting my eleventh year and boy! Have things changed since I first arrived as Bear # 39. There are now 200 bears living here and we have ten bear houses plus houses for the very boisterous cubs, our more elderly bears (NOT me!!) plus our southern cousins, the Sun Bears.
As you can see, this is going to be another fabulous puzzle photo of yours truly! I have everyone reason to look so happy because my life here is fantastic – thanks to your support which helps make me a Zero Cost Bear for Animals Asia. Your donations cover ALL my living costs for the whole year. And I couldn’t be in better caring paws than the team here at Animals Asia.

Love Your Bear, Jigsaw

Hi everyone! Boy! Christmas time already! A good year for rescues and much good news to come next year.
Sometimes it’s easy to enjoy a fresh start and a new life at the sanctuary but sometimes it presents a few challenges. Some touching stories in this issue
And other challenges include not only closing down the bear bile farms but but also people’s interest in bear bile as a medicine. But important steps being made in both these areas as Vietnam moves towards no bears to be held privately after 2022!
READ my newsletter HERE for the latest!
And a Merry Beary Christmas to you all!!
Love, your bear, Jigsaw
