OFFICIALLY, there are just more than 7,000 bears on bile farms in China, but Animals Asia fears the figure could be higher.
Bear farming is still legal in China, however no new licences are issued when farms close. In 2000, Animals Asia signed an agreement with the China Wildlife Conservation Association and Sichuan Forestry to rescue 500 bears from the worst farms and to work toward ending the industry.
To date, the organization has rescued 276 bears from farms in China. Another 54 bears have been rescued in Vietnam, where they have a similar agreement with the government. The bears that survive are rehabilitated and remain at sanctuaries.
