Historic agreement between Animals Asia and Vietnam government to shut down the bear bile industry!

Best news ever for Vietnam’s moon bears was announced in August: a Memorandum of Understanding with Vietnam’s government that makes it illegal for private households to keep moon bears in captivity. This should bring an end to the horrific bear bile industry in Vietnam forever.

The 1000 bears currently caught up in this industry will need to find new homes in sanctuaries by 2023. These sanctuaries need to be built…. and that means $$ – OUR DONATIONS are needed more than ever to help make this happen as quickly as possibly.

My name is Sal and I have created this site to bring awareness to the plight of the beautiftul Moon Bears of Asia. Together we can make a difference by raising money to care for our adopted Moon Bear Jigsaw. In the photo with me is my own little moon bear. Our border collie Gemma lived a wonderfully happy 17+ years. She was my mascot right through the fuN-raising for Jigsaw and then decided her job was done. She passed away in December 2010, the day after we finished raising the initial money to rescue Jigsaw but I know she has gifted her happy, joyful spirit onto him! Below is a Progress Thermometer that shows how much money we have raised since we started, late in 2009! WOW!! Impressive! To all our supporters, thank you for your generosity and PLEASE, KEEP YOUR DONATIONS COMING!! Bears like to live a long time :o)
