End bear bile farming, forever
Bear bile extraction is one of the worst forms of animal abuse in the world.
Right now, 147 bears in Vietnam are still trapped in tiny cages on bear bile farms. They are living a life of misery, hidden away in dark rooms.
We need your help. Donate today to help save the last bile bears.
These bears are deprived of natural sunlight, water, and are often fed rotten eggs and scraps. They often bash their heads on their cage and break their teeth from biting the metal bars. But YOU have the power to help save these thinking, feeling beings from a lifetime of cruelty.
Will you help protect the last 147 bile bears and bring the illegal bile trade in Vietnam to an end?

YOUR help will mean bears are not facing this cruelty alone
Your donation helps our expert on the ground, Phuong, watch over these final bears so they have a chance at the life they deserve.
Your life-saving gift will help to:
- MONITOR: Watch over the bears to spot signs of bile extraction
Phuong and his team return to bear farms again and again, checking each bear for signs of illegal bile extraction and ensuring no bear disappears unnoticed.
- PROTECT: Expose abuse and trigger action
When illegal activity is uncovered, bears can be confiscated by the authorities and sent to sanctuary care. Your support helps make sure cruelty cannot stay hidden behind closed doors.
- END: Shut down the illegal bile trade in Vietnam. Forever.
The illegal bear bile trade survives in secrecy. Regular monitoring removes that cover. When bears are always accounted for, pressure builds, farmers surrender bears, and this cruel trade loses its power to continue.
But this simply can’t happen without YOU. Please donate today to protect the final 147 bile bears and end the illegal bear bile trade in Vietnam. If we can't watch over them, they may remain trapped, forever.
Some of the bears shown on this page are Cam and Na. World Animal Protection, together with local partners FOUR PAWS, Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV), and the local authorities, negotiated their release, and secured them a forever home at the FOUR PAWS sanctuary in Ninh Binh.
