Description

We know it's illegal and inhumane to keep wild animals as pets or for exploitation; but what happens to the animals in cases where law enforcement confiscates them?



Animal Asia provides a sanctuary that serves not merely as a shelter but a place where an Asiatic black bear, rescued from the bear bile farms, finds their confidence in living a normal life with other bears, again; while acting as the ambassador for their species.



Tune in to listen to how Sarah van Herpt, Veterinary and Behavioural Husbandry Services Director - Animals Asia, empowers the animals and the local community at Animals Asia's Viet Nam Bear Sanctuary, Tam Dao.
