FOUR PAWS ends bile bear keeping in Ninh Binh province 
(09:18:09 AM 27/04/2018)
Today, the international animal welfare organisation FOUR PAWS rescued the two Asiatic black bears from their tiny metal cages and brought them to BEAR SANCTUARY Ninh Binh, which was built by the organisation in 2017. May and Binh Yen are the last bile bears vegetating on a farm in Ninh Binh province. With their rescue, the animal welfare organisation was able to end the keeping of bile bears in the entire province. Unfortunately, in other provinces of Vietnam, about 936 bears are still suffering on bear farms, and humans continue to illegally extract their bile using cruel methods.
